Thursday's weather overcast and mild again, rain in places
Wednesday night's damp weather but otherwise mild conditions continues into Thursday morning, though the showers are mostly confined to the southeast; the entire country will remain overcast today. Ambient temperatures remain well above zero, at +3-5 degrees Celsius.
Winds will be light, predominantly from the south.
During the day, the mercury will rise a couple of degrees but not more than that, while the showers will spread further across the country, with only the southeast and northeast spared. The sun will peep through the cloud over Saaremaa and around Pärnu.
Thursday night into the small hours of Friday will average +1 degree so far as air temperatures go, though it will be mostly dry, into Friday daytime itself.
As we head into the weekend, a low-pressure front will bring rain and some sleet to Estonia, and the hitherto light southwesterlies will intensify significantly.
The mean ambient temperature will be +3 on Friday, rising to +5 degrees on the Saturday, when daytime highs will reach up to 7 degrees Celsius.
Strong southwesterly winds will continue into Sunday, and some areas will see light drizzle and possibly sleet. Temperatures will stay above freezing both during the night and day.
Slightly cooler weather is expected, but conditions will be dry again, though the strong winds are forecast to continue.
Sunrise on Thursday is just after 8.45 a.m., sunset just after 3.30 p.m. On Monday the respective times will be about five minutes later and earlier respectively, as we head into the last three weeks before the solstice.
