Abstract

The article examines the dynamics of the Lithuanian climate in the 18th–20th centuries. Evaluation of air temperature, precipitation amount and the intensity of cyclonic circulation during the observation period was made. Seasonal trends of different climatological indices were determined. To predict climate change trends in Lithuania in the 21st century, the outputs of Global Climate Model (GCM) experiments from five modelling centres were used. The results of investigation show that current climate change tendencies in Lithuania will remain in the future: against the background of air temperature rise the continentality of the Lithuanian climate will decrease.
