Similar to the other Baltic states, Lithuania has a temperate continental climate. This is characterized by large differences in the summer and winter months. The average annual temperature is minus 6 °C, in July it can get up to 17 °C. The Baltic Sea provides for maritime influences in the regions at the west coast.
Even in the winter months, for example, day temperatures in Klaipeda do not usually fall below 0 °C. In the autumn and winter months is the precipitation up to 3.54 in. In the country side, like the capital Vilnius, the climate is much more continental.
In the winter months of November to February, temperatures can drop significantly below 0 °C, especially at night. Rainfall increases in the summer months and can reach 3.07 in in the eastern regions in July. In the summer months, up to 9 hours of sunshine can be on the agenda, making the air quite warm.

When to travel to Lithuania?
From the month of May, the days in Lithuania will be longer and allow for a variety of excursions and sightseeing tours. If you prefer a seaside holiday on the Baltic Sea, you should travel to Lithuania in the summer months of June, July or August. At air temperatures of about 20 °C, the water temperature rises to similar values of up to 19 °C.
For hardened people this should not be an obstacle to risking a jump into the cool water, especially on sunny days. We also recommend the summer months of June to August as the best time to travel to Lithuania. The winter months are less suitable for a trip to Lithuania due to the relatively high rainfall and sinking temperatures.
