Coastal vs Inland Weather Differences
Why the Curonian Spit feels different from Vilnius

Curonian Spit & Klaipėda

  • Wind factor: Baltic Sea winds make temperatures feel 3–5°C cooler than inland
  • Summer: Pleasant 16–20°C but always pack windproof jacket
  • Autumn/Winter: Stormy conditions possible; some guesthouses close Oct–Mar
  • Fog: Morning fog common near coast; enhances photography but delays ferries
  • Packing tip: Layer system essential — coastal weather shifts rapidly

Vilnius & Kaunas (Inland)

  • Temperature stability: Less wind, more predictable than coast
  • Summer: Warmer days (up to 24°C), cooler nights (10–12°C)
  • Winter: Cold but less windy than coast; snow common Dec–Feb
  • Rainfall: Moderate year-round; July–August see most precipitation
  • Packing tip: Light jacket useful even in summer evenings
