Sunday offers little respite, with conditions remaining largely similar. While cloud cover will begin to break overnight, showers will persist, primarily in the western regions.

Overnight temperatures are expected to drop to 5-10°C (41-50°F), falling to 11-13°C (52-55°F) near the Baltic Sea.
Sunday daytime will see a return to more extensive cloud cover, with intermittent showers and a possibility of hail in some locations. Thunderstorms are also anticipated. The prevailing wind will blow from the west-northwest,and temperatures will reach 14-19°C (57-66°F).
Early Week Outlook: Continued Showers, Cooler Temperatures
Monday will bring continued dense cloud cover. While showers will be brief and localized overnight, particularly intense near the coast, they will become widespread again during the day. The wind will remain strong. Overnight lows will range from 7-12°C (45-54°F), dipping to 13-14°C (55-57°F) along the coast, with daytime highs reaching a modest 13-18°C (55-64°F).

Looking Ahead: A Glimmer of Improvement
According to current data, a shift towards more favorable weather conditions is anticipated from Wednesday onwards. The rainfall is expected to subside, and temperatures are forecast to rise slightly.While specific details are still developing, this offers a hopeful outlook for residents seeking drier and warmer conditions.
“The current cyclonic system is proving remarkably persistent,” notes dr. Arūnas Buitvidas,a leading meteorologist at the lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service.
“While we don’t anticipate any dramatic shifts before Wednesday, the models suggest a weakening of the system and a return to more typical late-spring weather.”
