Lovely summer weather in Lithuania! Temperatures were between 20 and 25°C and it was mostly sunny, but there were also some rainy days that provided some refreshment. Ideal for an active vacation without getting tired of the heat.
KarelThere was clean air and often beautiful snowy landscapes, but the intense cold made it difficult to enjoy nature. Be prepared for icy winds!
Teun van EekerenDifficult Lithuanian winter; Icy cold and regular snowfall made outdoor recreation difficult. With temperatures often dropping below -5°C, warm clothing was essential. Overcast weather made for a gloomy experience.
BjörnUsually cold, heavy snowfall and icy winds. This adds a certain charm to the landscape, but makes outdoor recreation difficult and uncomfortable. Not recommended for people who cannot stand the cold.
Femke BareldsIt snowed regularly and temperatures were often below zero. If you like winter weather, this might be for you. However, if you prefer warmth and sunshine, avoid November.
