A significant heatwave impacted Western and Central Europe, with Lithuania also experiencing the effects. According to an analysis conducted by the Climate and Research Department of the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service (Meteo LT), the recent weather pattern resulted in several historical meteorological records for the country. One notable record was set in Druskininkai, where temperatures reached 36.3°C, marking the hottest recorded day for the month of June in Lithuania’s observational history.
The analysis also documented a distinct heat phenomenon occurring in Lithuania between June 27 and July 1. Meteorologically, this specific designation is applied when the maximum daily temperature meets or exceeds 30°C for a continuous period of three or more days. The pattern observed during this period involved alternating shorter intervals of elevated temperatures (one or two days) followed by subsequent periods of heat.
These data confirm that the extreme weather event was a pronounced natural occurrence. The findings provide detailed documentation of how this intense heatwave impacted climatic norms across the nation. The official reports from Meteo LT serve to characterize the scope and intensity of this recent atmospheric event within the context of Lithuania’s long-term climate records.
