Margarita Kirkliauskaitė, a meteorological forecaster with the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service (LHMT), says that current forecasts show that the weather will start to warm up next Wednesday:
“According to current data, the Arctic air mass, when the night temperature sometimes reaches 20-25 degrees cold, will hover over Lithuania until Tuesday.”
A cyclone with precipitation and heat will arrive from Western Europe on Wednesday, with temperatures increasing considerably. On Thursday, the thermometers will already show about 0 degrees. “
The meteorologist Izolda Marcinonienė affirms that in some places we can reach -26 degrees below zero from Sunday to Monday. I. Marcinonienė agrees with M. Kirkliauskaitė that the cold will recede, but adds that we can also have blizzards:
“In the middle of the week, Atlanta will push the cold east, the warmer but stronger southwest winds will change, various rainfall will fall, there will be subsequent blizzards and storms.”
February seems warmer than January
LHMT climatologist Viktorija Mačiulytė says the first week of February should be close to the multi-year average. Although February is likely to be cold, it is not expected to be like January:
“The air temperature in the first week of February this year should be close to multi-year values (the standard climate norm is -3.2 ° C). The estimated average temperature is also around -3.2 ° C, which means that cold weather will prevail, but not as much as in the second half of January, with an estimated average temperature of -5 to -6 ° C.
It should be noted that the mean air temperature includes both nighttime and daytime values, so nights should, as usual, be colder and days warmer than expected average. “
In ancient times, the weather was predicted by the moon or even cabbage.
Libertas Klimka, an ethnologist interviewed by tv3.lt, agreed to tell how Lithuanians guessed the weather in ancient times. According to the expert, such predictions were quite accurate.
If the weather will change, especially in terms of cold, the moon has shown people: if there is a circle of visible light around the moon, the weather will change. The closer that circle is to the moon, the faster the weather will change.
L. Klimka assures that people in ancient times were very attentive to natural phenomena and noticed even minimal changes, which eventually became prophets of one or another climate:
“There are many signs of the environment, for example, before the cold, the water comes out of the plows. The ice apparently thickens, pressurizes the water, if the plow breaks, it immediately spills and those spots appear in the pond or lake There are strangely creaky blinds, the embers in the fire ignite, they do not blow, these are signs of cold.
The animals also react: moths or crows, if they sit somewhere on top of the trees, it means that it will be cold and they are generally going against the wind. “
According to the ethnologist, people even guessed about the future thawing of cabbage in the barrel. If the level of liquid in the barrel rises, it is necessary to wait for it to thaw.
