The synoptic assures that for the last time an air mass even colder than the one that has just ended, visited Lithuania in January 2012.
“This cold wave is quite unique because it is associated with the invasion of a very cold Arctic air mass in the region, but fortunately the velocity of this air mass is relatively high and now it has moved a lot towards the southeast, towards the Lower Volga region “, says the expert. .
We will even get a positive temperature
G. Stankūnavičius predicts that soon we will get warming, which at the same time will bring and sometimes extremely heavy rains – snow, sleet or rain.
“In the second half of the week, cardinal changes await. On Thursday, there will be a sharp change in air temperature – from -12 to -15 ºC to +1 – +4 ºC. This sudden warming was caused by the advection of the marine air masses of the mid-latitudes and subtropics of the North Atlantic ”, the weather forecast promises heat.
The weather changes won’t end here next week, we may have a cold again. This cold snap will be much milder than the Arctic one that just passed. The expert assures that after this cold wave, during which the temperature will drop to -6 – -7 ºC, the warm weather should rejoice at the end of the month.
Wavy temperature – natural
When asked if it is normal for temperatures to fluctuate during winter, the scientist explains that this is not only normal, but should be the case in all winters.
“Monotonous winters with only one sign of thermal anomalies throughout the season: only the cold prevails (1995/96, 2009/10 …) or the entire winter season reminds of the long end of autumn (2006/07, 2019 / 20 …). More the exception than the rule. Without a doubt, the impact of climate change (or fluctuations) is obvious – the total period of thaw in winter is lengthened on average, and thaws – are shortened “, he assures G. Stankūnavičius, adding that we can expect cooling again in early February, although its size cannot be predicted at present.
