According to the weather forecast from the Environmental Agency, Estonia is expecting extremely cold temperatures on Tuesday, with lows reaching minus 22 degrees Celsius. This significant drop in temperature is a cause for concern given the potential for adverse weather conditions. Nighttime weather will feature a mix of clouds with partial clearings, which may lead to light snowfall and fog in certain areas.

Winds are expected to be variable, blowing at speeds of 1 to 6 meters per second, with a stronger southeastern and southern wind of up to 10 meters per second along the islands. The forecast indicates that most of the country will experience temperatures between minus 12 and minus 18 degrees Celsius, while Eastern Estonia, under clearer skies, may see even colder conditions approaching minus 22. Meanwhile, areas along the western coastline can expect milder temperatures around minus 7 degrees Celsius.

This severe weather forecast has implications for public safety, particularly for those who may need to travel or work outdoors. Residents are encouraged to prepare for the extreme cold, which may cause disruptions and stresses on local infrastructure as well as pose health risks, especially to vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those without adequate heating.
