Areas experiencing recent severe weather events have faced not only intense rainfall but also the occurrence of very large hail. Reports indicate that some hail crystals measured between 4 and 6 cm in diameter. Such substantial hail carries the potential to cause damage to vehicles, building roofs and windows, as well as crops and tree branches.
Residents currently in the affected regions, or those planning travel through them, are advised to exercise extreme caution. During storm conditions, traffic safety can be significantly compromised due to a combination of heavy rain, poor visibility, flooded roadways, and potential debris. Meteorological forecasts for the entire month of August have been released, offering insights into the summer’s expected weather patterns.
Among the predictions, a synoptic warning highlighted that a specific part of Lithuania is anticipated to experience the most stormy conditions this summer. Furthermore, forecasters have predicted instances of very strong, and in some cases devastating, gusts of wind. The combination of these severe weather elements necessitates heightened awareness regarding travel and outdoor activities.
