On Tuesday, Estonia experienced a significant rise in temperatures, with several locations breaking previous heat records. The Estonian Environment Agency reported that March 10 was the warmest day of the year thus far, as temperatures inland exceeded 10 degrees Celsius and approached 15 degrees Celsius in southeastern Estonia. This marked the first time this year that temperatures surpassed the 15-degree threshold in the country.

The report noted that several specific locations broke longstanding temperature records, including Valga, Võru, Tõravere, Viljandi, Tiirikoja, Heltermaa, and Pakri stations. The weather forecast for Wednesday indicated continued sunny conditions, with temperatures ranging from 5 to 11 degrees Celsius and peaking at 15 degrees in southeastern Estonia. As a notable phenomenon, dust from the Sahara was observed in the atmosphere, contributing to hazy skies.

As the day progressed, cloud cover was expected to increase from the west, leading to potential rain in parts of western Estonia later in the day. Wind conditions would vary, with southwest and southern winds blowing at 3 to 9 meters per second and gusts reaching up to 13 meters per second along coastal areas. This weather pattern underscores the evolving climate conditions in Estonia as spring approaches, raising discussions about the implications for local ecosystems and weather patterns.
