Arūnas Bukantis, professor at the Department of Hydrometeorology and Climatology at Vilnius University, assures that the highest temperature was recorded in February just over 30 years ago.
“There are high temperatures previously recorded by meteorological stations, for example, in February 1990, there were 21 days in Kybartai on the 21st,” recalls the professor, adding that temperatures are projected to increase only in the future.
A warm climate
According to A. Bukantis, according to scientists’ calculations and models, the warming trend is likely to continue or even accelerate.
“The February data on file shows that there have been up to three positive months for February in the last decade. Previously, those months occurred only once or twice in 50 years.
All winter months are now warmer, with temperatures that have risen by around 2 degrees in the last 30 years compared to the mid-20th century. Calculations based on climate models allow us to affirm that this warming trend in Lithuania, as in the rest of the world, will persist and even accelerate. It is expected that the temperature will continue to rise every month ”, says the expert.
Heat does not stick
Meteorologists from the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service (LHMT) comment that the temperature increase in Kybartai will not stop, 8 degrees of heat are forecast for tomorrow and can be eliminated at night.
“Such high heat is short-lived, because a colder air mass will arrive in Lithuania the next day. Tomorrow the temperature will rise to 3-8 degrees. On March 1 and 2, the Lithuanian climate will be determined by an anticyclone, no precipitation is expected. At night, it will cool slightly in some places, and during the day the temperature will rise to 5-10 degrees “, comment the meteorologists.
