On Monday, the 8th of January, weather in Latvia will be sunny. However, clouds will gradually move in from the north, bringing some snow to the country’s north-eastern areas. The wind will be slow.

On Tuesday night air temperature in many north-eastern regions will fall as far as -15° C. However, as warmer masses of air flow to the country, air temperature will become positive, reaching upwards of +3° C in coastal regions. The amount of clouds in the sky will increase as well, meteorologists say.
The thaw will continue in the middle of the week – in western areas air temperature may go below 0° C, mostly at night. Daytime air temperature will vary between 0° C and +4° C. No significant precipitation is expected. Wind speed will go up slightly, meteorologists say.
