In the afternoon, clouds will start to gather more, however, and the Western littoral also southwestern Estonia can expect strong thunderstorms and strong winds, with a chance of hail, too.

While the winds will still be strong on Tuesday, they will die down after that, and air temperatures will peak at 24C.
