It is claimed that the air temperature anomaly (in the capital) reached up to 4 degrees (compared to the 1991-2020 norm) and even 5.3 degrees compared to 1778-2021. On average!
“We have never recorded such a hot month in Lithuania in the history of meteorological observations. For a long time, 2010 seemed like a gap, but the ceiling was pierced only 11 years later. It seemed that the 2010 record would definitely last longer, but we all felt very well the heat to which accelerated climate change really nailed it. (Up to 4 out of 5 years in the TOP five are of this age.) They are so frequent records, the abundance of tropical nights (which were almost non-existent in Lithuania until 1990 ), prolonged and recurring heat, especially uneven precipitation. We also saw and felt suffocating air of tropical origin, which could equal the mass of the equatorial air (the blue of the sky could not be seen even on a clear day overhead) .
We remind you that June this year (in Vilnius) was also hot, the third in history in terms of warmth. It is already clear that the summer of 2021 will be (most likely) the warmest in history. To prevent this from happening, you need a cool August. The average air temperature should be 16.4 ° C (ie, -1.2 degrees anomaly). The last time such a great August was in 2009 and 2012. Will this be the case? Unlikely, but we’ll see.
All figures are checked and detailed checks are made by LHMT (probably in a few days), but the fact is like a pancake: this July was the hottest month in the history of measurements in Lithuania, not only in Vilnius, but also in other parts of Lithuania. . The prospects for the future do not promise us anything good either ”, announces the social network.
