New heat records were registered throughout Lithuania this week as more hot weather and thunder showers are forecast for the weekend. On Tuesday, the nation’s highs were 27 - 30 degrees Celsius, exceeding the temperature records for that day in as many as 15 meteorology stations, the Lithuanian Hydrometeorology Service reported Thursday. Temperatures were just 0.1 degree shy of the all-time May 22 high registered in Kaunas in 1937. The hot weather will alternate with short periods of rain and thunder in Lithuania over the next few days. http://www.baltictimes.com/news/articles/17949/
