This July, when some are basking in the sun and splashing in the water, others will be soaked in the heat in the sweltering apartments for a long time. According to climatologists, this July was the hottest since 1961 – the temperature was nearly 4 degrees higher than the standard weather norm. And here, August, which had just begun, broke out. True, as intensely as today, according to meteorologists, nickel and non-gas umbrellas may be needed on a daily basis.
“On Wednesday we will reach an area of higher pressure, there will be a little less rain, but again, on Thursday and Friday, short showers are expected again and possibly with thunderstorms,” says meteorologist Ineta Daunoravičiūtė.
The week is not only rainy but also cooler. At night, the temperature will drop to 9-14 degrees, during the day it will warm to 19-23. Climatologists say that August will not be as abnormally hot as July. Oh, and you can play more than usual.
“The average temperature in August is 17.6 for Lithuania as a whole, the average rainfall is 77 millimeters, so if you look at the forecast for August, which we see now, according to today’s data, the air temperature should be close to that average, and the precipitation should be a little higher, more, about 20 percent more, ”says climatologist Viktorija Mačiulytė.
So the hottest and coldest temperature records in August don’t seem to be breaking. At the end of August 1966, a cold of almost -3 degrees was recorded in Varėna, and so far the warmest temperature in August was recorded in Birštonas not long ago. In 2015, the temperature on August 8 reached 37.4 degrees. But the August rainfall record is not likely to be broken either.
“The highest amount of precipitation in August is fixed for a long time, in 1978 in Šilutė, when it fell above 200 millimeters, there are more records of this type, but you have to imagine 200 millimeters of precipitation, which is almost 3 times higher. than our standard climatic norm, there is a very high rainfall, ”he continues.
The ornithologists ask that the nose not hang due to the rainy beginning of August and that the migration of the birds be controlled.
“At the end of July that peak begins, not that the pilgrim migration begins, they are the Icelandic runners, the black-breasted runners, because they run very well along the seashore. If you are by the sea, you will see that those white beach birds sometimes do not run around the spider, and these birds are just beginning to migrate, ”says Albertas Skirpstas, an ornithologist.
By the way, in August lis and meteorites. Sky watchers say that meteors are space debris: rocks, dust left by a comet orbiting the sun. Meteorites are visible as they orbit the Earth at a speed of 70 kilometers per second. For those who are ready to observe meteor shower water watchers, they give you a secret of when you will be able to see more.
“The peak will be the night of August 12-13. That’s what is promised to most meteorites then, but I looked at the weather, it’s not clear, it can be very bad weather, it’s the nights around those dates, 11,12,13,14, there 10,11 too it’s very good, it’s really worth it, “says photographer Tadas Janušonis.
During peak hours, more than 100 meteors can be seen per hour. If you want to bathe the meteorites in the rain, sky watchers advise getting as far away from the city as possible and not expecting to see meteors falling right away; your eyes need about half an hour to get used to. Meteor showers are best observed before the sun sets, 2 to 3 p.m.
