The wind at central Kaunas, by the confluence
A light breeze (about 7 km/h, gusts to 13), out of the west-southwest.
Strongest gusts forecast over the next 24 hours: about 19 km/h. Wind words follow the Beaufort scale. This is a weather model’s forecast for the hour, not a measurement — exposed ground above town will see more.
Where the official word comes from
This page reads the national warnings feed and nothing else. It is not an alert service: it will not ring your phone, and it does not know about power cuts, water works or road closures. For anything happening right now, use these.
Where to check, before and during
Emergency — 112One number for fire, ambulance and police, free from any phone. Call it for anything happening now.
In January 2026 the Kaunas–Vilnius motorway was reported at a standstill during continuous snowfall — "both lanes are standing". A county warning for snow or ice is worth reading before that drive.
What the colours mean
Yellow means be aware, orange means be prepared, red means take action. The level and the wording come from the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service; this page does not add to them or interpret them.
