According to meteo.lt, today’s cold record was set in Vilnius in 1940, when it cooled down to -37.2 degrees.
On Sunday, the high pressure areas will be established near Lithuania. The sun’s rays will rejoice and no significant snow is expected. After a cold night, during the day the highest temperature will reach 15-17 degrees in many places, in the western areas the cold will be somewhat milder and by the sea it will reach 9-11 degrees.
Fortunately, the wind in the erratic direction will be weak, so it will not generate an additional roar.
Dry, calm but cold weather will continue to prevail Monday night. Temperatures will drop to 16-21, in southern areas in places even as low as 24 degrees below zero. The sea awaits the milder cold again, in the morning it will be 12-14 degrees below zero.
On Monday, the cloud cover will increase, in some places it will snow. The wind will start to blow from the south, southwest, but it will be weak.
The thermometers will show 7-12, in the western areas in places 4-6, and in the coastal region only 1-3 degrees of cold.

There will be little snow on Tuesday, the cold will be a little less, but there will be a storm during the day due to the stronger wind from the south and southeast.
As of Monday, the cold is expected to begin to ease towards the south and southeast, but this will be felt first by the northern neighbors of the Baltic (Finland, Estonia and Latvia).
“A little later, the western part of Lithuania, even later the southeastern part of Lithuania and Belarus,” promised Gintautas Stankūnavičius, associate professor in the Department of Hydrology and Climatology at Vilnius University (VU) on Friday.
On Sunday and Monday nights, the minimum air temperature will drop to -18, -20 ° C in many places and -24 ° C or lower in some places. On Tuesday night, a stronger cold is expected, -13, -18 ° C only in some places.
“As cyclones move through Western Europe towards Scandinavia, the barium gradients in the Baltic region will increase, therefore the south-southwest wind will increase and the cold will decrease. Since Thursday in western Lithuania and since Friday, in the rest of the country, due to the defense of the sea air masses, a thaw is expected. The air temperature during the day will be positive and the average daily air temperature will be around 0 ° C, ”shared G. Stankūnavičius.
And in the second part of next week, more significant rainfall is expected: wet snow and rain, in some places lijundra. “Therefore, this cold period will not last long in Lithuania,” he said.
However, based on long-term forecasts, he promised to return to the northern part of Europe more than once.
“The annual polar stratospheric vortex generally blocks Arctic air above polar latitudes because it is symmetric with respect to the North Pole.
However, in early January, the center of this vortex shifted over northern Eurasia, so very cold air in the upper troposphere layers now circulates over northern Eurasia and it is much easier to traverse latitudes. socks.
Research shows that the polar vortex gradually returns to its equilibrium conditions, so more invasions from the Arctic cold can be expected this winter, ”promised G. Stankūnavičius, VU climatologist and associate professor in the Department of Hydrology and Climatology.
