The summer of 2025 in Lithuania promises to be special - weather forecasters are already predicting changeable, extreme weather that will affect both everyday life and agriculture. Although the spring was cool and the winter was unusually warm, it was precisely these circumstances that led to a difficult start to the summer season.
Heat and drought: possible temperature records
Forecasters are warning that Lithuania could experience several heat waves this summer. It is predicted that temperatures in June and July could soar to 34-36 degrees Celsius, and in some regions of Eastern Europe, the possibility of briefly reaching 40 degrees Celsius is not ruled out. Such high temperatures will favor a long-term drought, which will negatively affect agriculture and nature.
Water shortages are already being recorded in some rivers - water levels are unusually low, and less rain is forecast than usual. Specialists warn that there may be a risk of forest fires in the summer, so residents are urged to be more careful in nature and follow safety rules.
Changeable weather during Midsummer
A short heat wave is forecast for mid-June, during which the temperature may rise to 25 degrees Celsius, but as Midsummer approaches, forecasters are also warning of changes - cyclone activity will increase, so the weather may be extremely unstable. Short but heavy rains with thunderstorms are possible, and a storm is also possible in some places on the holiday day.
According to representatives of the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service, weather forecasts before Midsummer change almost daily, therefore residents are recommended to follow the latest information and plan the celebration taking into account possible weather changes.
Recommendations for residents
Meteorologists urge residents to be prepared for possible challenges:
- Have sufficient supplies of drinking water.
- Protect your health during hot weather by wearing light, light-colored clothing and avoiding direct sunlight, especially at noon.
- For nature lovers, be especially careful with open fires and do not burn grass or garbage.
- Follow official information about fire danger and possible heat waves or storms.
Summer can surprise you – both with heat and sudden changes
Summarizing the weather forecasters' forecasts, one thing is clear - the summer of 2025 in Lithuania will be full of challenges and changes. Both record-high temperatures and drought and the risk of fires make us think about responsible behavior in nature and preparation for adverse weather conditions. And with Midsummer approaching, it is advisable to constantly monitor weather forecasts and prepare for the holiday so that no rain or heat spoils the mood.
