Cyclone "Vilya" Is Heading Toward Belarus

It is moving from the south of the United Kingdom.

Saturday, September 5, will be windy and rainy in Belarus. Belhydromet has issued an orange alert for that day due to strong winds and precipitation.

Western wind gusts of up to 15–20 m/s are expected across most of the country, and in some areas, gusts may reach 21–24 m/s at night. Heavy rain is expected overnight in the northern half of Belarus. The adverse weather will affect all regions of the country and Minsk.

According to meteorological forecasts, this weather will be caused by storm cyclone VILJA, which is moving from the south of the United Kingdom. After fully forming over the Baltic Sea, its center will move from the direction of Lithuania toward the Vitebsk Region overnight.

During the day, the cyclone will move further into the European part of Russia, and Belarus will find itself in its rear. Therefore, after the main precipitation zone passes, strong westerly winds will persist, with the possibility of brief showers and thunderstorms. In the north of the country, particularly intense thunderstorm cells cannot be ruled out.

Less precipitation is forecast for southern Belarus. Daytime temperatures will range from +16 degrees in the north to +24 in the southeast. In Minsk, temperatures will be around +18…+20 degrees.

Therefore, on September 5, Belarusians should be especially careful outdoors due to strong winds, rain, and possible thunderstorms.
