At the moment, weather models show no signs of a prolonged warm period on the horizon, although with a bit of luck, real summer warmth could arrive in the second half of July or in August. However, a few warmer days are just around the corner, said Taimi Paljak, lead meteorologist at the Environment Agency.
A relatively cool and rainy June in Estonia has created a situation where powerful low-pressure systems are forming over the Atlantic. Meanwhile, high-pressure areas have not managed to develop over Scandinavia and the British Isles, Paljak explained. At the same time, Central and Southern Europe remain under a stable high-pressure system, bringing with it intense heatwaves in those regions.
“As a result, we’re getting a series of Atlantic low-pressure systems. The air masses coming in from the west are carrying a lot of moisture and are generally rather cool. That’s why we have had such changeable weather here,” Paljak noted.
June’s first half was exceptionally rainy. In several parts of the country, precipitation totals had already surpassed the monthly average by mid-June.
