In Estonia, the severe winter marked by freezing temperatures and snowfalls is coming to an end, according to the leading meteorologist Taimi Paljak from the Environmental Agency. After weeks of harsh cold, the forecast indicates that the country will shift towards a wetter and more unpredictable March. This change in weather will require residents to adjust their activities accordingly as freezing temperatures might still occur at night, despite milder daytime conditions.

Throughout February, Estonia experienced heavy snowfall, living up to its reputation as a winter month, with snow occurring both over the weekends and mid-week. Paljak emphasized that the intense cold spell is officially over, and while daytime temperatures are expected to be warmer, often hovering above freezing, nighttime may still bring occasional dips below zero. This requires careful planning for winter sports enthusiasts, particularly skiers, who should check conditions daily to maximize their enjoyment while the conditions allow.

Despite the forecast for milder weather lasting for at least a week, there is some uncertainty about subsequent temperatures, with indications that it could turn colder again after this period. This unpredictability adds an element of caution as the transition towards spring begins, highlighting the importance of following weather updates closely in the coming weeks.
