Lithuania & Latvia 2026: Cyclones, storms, and seasonal fog

Overview

Lithuania and Latvia continue to experience unstable autumnal weather characterized by shifting temperatures, frequent precipitation, and periodic extreme conditions.

In Lithuania, the region transitioned from unseasonably warm conditions in early September to a series of unsettled cycles. Multiple cyclones brought heavy rainfall and wind warnings in mid-September, with some areas recording nearly half their monthly precipitation norms in a single day. Following a brief ‘Indian summer’ driven by the Azores anticyclone, weather became highly variable. In early October, North Atlantic cyclones brought significant wind gusts, with coastal speeds reaching up to 28 m/s, prompting warnings for potential power outages.

In mid-October, the anticyclone ‘Florian’ initially provided dry, calm conditions with daytime temperatures between 12–14°C. However, this was followed by a cooling trend as the northern part of cyclone ‘Irima’ and a cold atmospheric front approached, bringing frost and rain to western regions. By late October, conditions became increasingly unsettled; after a period of fluctuating rain and sun, a significant temperature drop was forecasted for the transition into November, with daytime highs falling into single digits. Wind gusts near the coast reached up to 16 m/s during this period.

In Latvia, meteorological autumn officially began on September 10. The season has been marked by significant fluctuations, including periods of high pressure and dry, sunny days followed by intense precipitation zones. Throughout September and October, Latvia has faced frequent fog, reducing visibility, and gusty winds reaching up to 19 m/s. Recent forecasts indicate a pattern of cool, cloudy days with daytime highs between +8°C and +17°C, interspersed with periods of rain and nighttime frosts that can drop temperatures to between -2°C and +4°C. In late October, a precipitation zone moving from the west brought widespread rain and nighttime wind gusts of 15 to 19 m/s to western and central regions.
