On Thursday, air temperatures will remain between +5…+8°C both day and night, but on Friday they will drop by a couple of degrees.
Over the weekend, colder air will continue to flow into Latvia from the north, causing temperatures to fall below 0°C in many places. During the night to Saturday, temperatures in parts of the eastern regions may fall as low as –6°C.
The day will be cloudy, and in the afternoon snow and sleet are expected in western and central regions,
while along the coast, where temperatures will be higher, rain is also likely. On Sunday, precipitation is expected across a wider area of the country.
