Cloudy weather will persist across Latvia on Tuesday and Wednesday with only occasional sunny intervals, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
Rain will continue overnight into Tuesday across northern Latvia, with prolonged and heavy rainfall expected in some areas. Localised heavy downpours and thunderstorms are also forecast. During the day, rain will spread across a much larger part of the country, while strong showers and thunderstorms may continue in some areas during the afternoon and into the night, particularly in central and eastern Latvia.
Wednesday is also expected to be wet across much of the country, especially in the central and eastern regions. Fog may develop overnight and during the morning hours in some locations, reducing visibility.
Northeasterly and northerly winds will gradually shift to northwesterly and westerly directions while remaining gusty. Along the Kurzeme coast, wind gusts are expected to reach 15–19 metres per second, and could briefly reach 20 metres per second early Tuesday.
Night-time temperatures will range between +10°C and +15°C, while
daytime temperatures will generally reach +15°C to +20°C.
On Thursday and Friday, skies will remain mostly cloudy, although occasional sunny spells are expected. Scattered rain showers are possible, but winds will ease and remain light. Temperatures will stay similar to previous days, with much of the country seeing daytime highs of around +20°C on Friday.
Over the weekend and at the beginning of next week, cyclonic conditions will continue to influence the region. Skies will remain mostly cloudy with occasional clear periods, while isolated rain showers are expected. Light winds will prevail.
As warmer air gradually moves into Latvia from the south, temperatures will slowly rise. By Monday, daytime highs are expected to reach +20°C to +25°C across most of the country.
