Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital, receives around 660 mm (about 26 inches) of rain a year, with a clear summer peak from convective thunderstorms typical of the Baltic region’s continental-leaning climate. The Neris river running through the city has a generally moderate flow pattern, meaning fast-developing local summer storms are the more immediate weather hazard rather than large-scale river flooding. These storms can bring intense hail and sudden downpours capable of flooding specific low-lying streets in the historic old town. Because summer weather here can shift quickly, radar tracking is a genuinely practical tool during the warmer months. Lithuania’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
