At night air temperature will drop to +4° C… -4° C (-5° C… -7° C in eastern areas), whereas daytime air temperature will reach -2° C… +4° C.
In the following days weather conditions will be similar, as they will be dictated by multiple cyclones –
the sun will shine between the clouds every now and then. Some precipitation and stronger wind is also expected. The wind will be especially strong along the coast. With slightly warmer masses of air flowing to the country, precipitation will consist mostly of rain and wet snow. Nevertheless, it will also snow properly in some areas. Meteorologists say precipitation will be the strongest on Wednesday. Both at night and during the day maximum and minimal air temperature will remain similar: air temperature will stay at 0° C… +5° C. It may be a couple of degrees colder in eastern regions of Latvia.
