Meteorologists announce that the wind will continue to blow with intensity until noon.
"Intensification of the northwest wind in gusts of up to 15-20 m/s is expected," the State Hydrometeorological Service states.
The air temperature in the morning hours will be -1 degree Celsius. The mild weather will warm up towards noon, indicating 0 degrees Celsius. In the evening, the temperature will drop to -2 degrees Celsius.
