Clouds will persist over the next few days. Rain is expected in on Thursday and only in parts on Friday, and snow will fall in the eastern part of the country on Thursday, resulting in a snow cover up to 5 cm thick in the eastern regions in the evening, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
Drivers should be especially careful in such weather conditions, as roads will be slippery and visibility will be impaired!
Fog will also build up in some areas on Thursday evening and continue into Friday night! Gusty winds will continue along the coast. Overnight, the temperatures will cool to -2…+3 degrees, with warmer conditions along the coast at +2…+7 degrees, while daytime highs will be +4…+10 degrees in many areas and +0…+4 degrees in the east of the country.
Over the weekend, the weather will worsen as cyclone influence will intensify, with cloudy conditions and rain expected over most of the area. On Saturday, there will be light rain in many places, but on Sunday it will be raining more vigorously across the country. South-westerly winds will also become stronger, gusting up to 15-19 m/s! As warmer air masses enter the country, temperatures will mostly be above +5 degrees both nights and days.
Next week and national holidays will continue to be rainy and windy across most of Latvia. At night, the thermometer will not drop below 0 degrees, while daytime temperatures will remain in the same range as at the end of the week.
