On Wednesday, the sky will be partly cloudy, but clouds will disperse during the day and conditions will remain dry, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
During the night, haze will form in some areas, which may reduce visibility. A light to moderate easterly wind will blow. Night-time temperatures will drop to –20…–24°C, while along the Gulf of Riga coast in Kurzeme they will range from –8…–14°C. During the daytime, air temperatures will rise to –10…–15°C, and in northern Kurzeme to –7…–10°C.
In the second half of the week, the influence of a cyclone from the southwest will strengthen, bringing an inflow of warmer air and increased precipitation.
On Thursday alone, temperatures in some places will still drop to –20…–24°C,
but toward the end of the week the thermometer will not fall below –15°C. Daytime frost will also ease; however, the likelihood of a thaw toward the weekend remains low.
Next week, sunshine will alternate with clouds, and no significant precipitation is expected. At night, temperatures may again drop locally to around –20°C.
