A summer storm is anticipated for Thursday, with the highest probability of severe weather concentrated in the eastern regions of the country. Forecasters from the Lithuanian Meteorological Service have warned of multiple hazards, including heavy rainfall—defined as 15 millimeters or more within a 12-hour period—accompanied by thunderstorms. The forecast indicates that conditions will involve more than just rain; residents should also prepare for squalls, which involve sudden, significant wind increases reaching up to 15–20 meters per second, with occasional gusts potentially reaching 23 meters per second, alongside the threat of hail.
Specific advisories regarding dangerous weather are scheduled for update on Thursday morning. Confirmation of these predictions has been provided by the European Laboratory for Severe Storms (ESSL) map. While the overall weather pattern is expected to remain warm, the movement of rain clouds across the country carries considerable risk, particularly in the eastern areas.
According to the European Storm Prediction Experiment (ESTOFEX), the combination of these elements suggests a complex weather system. The potential for severe weather is multifaceted; it is not limited to rainfall. The forecast warns that the impact will involve not only heavy precipitation but also the combination of strong winds and thunderstorms.
Authorities advise that the public should remain vigilant, as the confluence of these meteorological events presents a notable risk across the specified regions.
