Analyses that mention Švenčionys District Municipality
Mild coast, frosty north-east: a climate mapLithuania is a small and mostly flat country, yet its climate changes noticeably from one municipality to the next. The Baltic coast has mild and wet winters, the north-east has long frosts and more of its rain falling as snow, and the south enjoys the warmest summers. This analysis reads the long-term climate normals to show how large these differences really are.Buses, trains and charging points across LithuaniaPublic transport service depends heavily on where people live, yet departures per resident, Sunday timetables and rail each draw a different map. Public charging points add another view, with resorts and spa towns well equipped for their size. This analysis sets these services side by side across the country's municipalities to show how unevenly everyday mobility options are spread.Forests, fields and built-up land in LithuaniaForests, fields and buildings divide the land of Lithuania's municipalities very unevenly: some are mostly woodland, others mostly farmland, and a handful of cities are mostly built surface. This analysis reads the land-cover shares, then asks whether built-up land has followed the population or kept growing in places where residents have left.
