Wednesday will bring moderate snowfall
A low-pressure system from Scandinavia is expected to bring moderate snowfall to Estonia on Wednesday, with varying cloud cover and temperature drops.
On Wednesday, a low-pressure system moving from Scandinavia will expand over the Baltic Sea, leading to cloudy skies with occasional clearings and the likelihood of light snowfall in several areas of Estonia. The most significant snowfall is predicted to occur on the islands and the northern coastline, while the mainland will experience colder temperatures ranging from -12 to -18 degrees Celsius. The current weather on Tuesday night shows similar conditions, with clouds and a chance of light snow primarily affecting the islands and northern coasts.
The wind is expected to come from the south at speeds of 2-5 m/s, increasing to 8 m/s along the coast, and the gusts could reach up to 12 m/s on the islands. Morning temperatures for Wednesday will remain consistently low, especially in the interior regions where temperatures may drop below -20 degrees Celsius under clearer skies. The overcast conditions combined with the winds will contribute to a significant chill and highlight the need for residents to prepare for wintery conditions.
Overall, the weather forecast for Estonia indicates a typical winter day with moderate snowfall. Residents are urged to take necessary precautions against cold temperatures and be mindful of road conditions as the snowfall may impact travel across the region. The changing weather patterns reflect broader climatic trends in the region, reinforcing the need for continued adaptation to winter weather.
