Polish meteorologists report that a significant warm spell is expected, although residents are cautioned not to mistake it for spring due to a transitional cold period.
Lithuania woke up to extremely low temperatures on Monday morning, with "Meteo LT" reporting the lowest temperatures ranging from -21 to -27 degrees Celsius in areas like JoniÅ”kis and UkmergÄ. The freezing conditions are expected to persist for the time being, impacting everyday life and routines in the region.
However, forecasts indicate that warmer spring-like temperatures will arrive in Poland over the coming days, albeit with a warning to not confuse this upcoming warmth with the actual onset of spring. The Polish Meteorological and Water Management Institute has issued alerts for freezing rain and black ice, particularly affecting residents in the south-western and central areas of the country. These warnings highlight the need for caution among those traveling or commuting in these regions.
With conditions worsening during Monday evening and into the night, this transition poses risks that require vigilant response. While it may feel warmer temporarily, the anticipation of spring can be deceptive, reminding residents to prepare for ongoing wintry conditions before true seasonal changes occur.
