Compared with the beginning of October, the new week will start with more unsettled weather. As a large cyclone approaches Latvia from the northwest, skies will become overcast, rain clouds will move in and winds will become gusty. However, conditions will change frequently, with drier and calmer days also expected around the middle of the week, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
While maximum temperatures will initially still reach +15°C to +18°C in some areas, it will become cooler towards the end of the week.
On Monday, 5 October, skies will be cloudy, with intermittent rain and drizzle across most of the country. South-westerly and westerly winds will begin to strengthen in the morning, with gusts reaching 15–17 m/s near the coast.
Overnight temperatures will fall to +5°C to +10°C in many areas, while daytime highs will range from +11°C to +16°C.
On Tuesday, light rain will remain only in eastern Latvia, while skies will gradually begin to clear
from the northwest in the afternoon. South-westerly and westerly winds will continue to strengthen, with gusts reaching 15–19 m/s across a wider area.
Overnight temperatures will not fall below +10°C, while the day will be only a few degrees warmer, with temperatures reaching +15°C to +17°C.
By the middle of the week, winds will ease, with light to moderate winds blowing from the south. While clouds may still bring some light precipitation to parts of Vidzeme during Wednesday, Thursday is expected to remain dry.
As skies clear, nights will become slightly cooler, with temperatures falling to +5°C to +9°C and frost possible in some areas. Coastal areas will remain warmer, with temperatures around or slightly above +10°C.
Towards the end of the week, another cyclone will approach Latvia from the west, bringing rainier conditions.
During the weekend, winds will once again tend to strengthen along the coast, while daytime temperatures will no longer exceed +15°C.
