On Monday, the skies will be cloudy, but in the western and central regions the sun will occasionally shine. During the night, a precipitation zone will reach Latvia from the southeast — snow is expected in the eastern and, in some places, also central regions. In some eastern areas, a 2–4 cm thick snow cover is expected to form, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
During the day, snowfall will occur only in some places, and rain is also possible along the coast. Road conditions in parts of the eastern region will be slippery, and visibility may worsen during snowfall. A light wind will blow, nighttime temperatures will drop to 0…–4°C, while daytime temperatures will rise to –2…+2°C.
On Tuesday, the sky will clear at times. If there is a bit of snow in some areas overnight, no precipitation is expected during the day. In some sections, roads will be slippery! At night, the temperature will fall to 0…–5°C, and during the day most of the country will experience light frost.
Wednesday is expected to be mostly cloudy, though skies will clear in places in the northwestern regions.
Snow is expected in southeastern areas, increasing the snow cover by 2–4 cm. A light to moderate northeasterly and northerly wind will blow. Air temperatures both at night and during the day will be similar to those in the first days of the week.
In the second half of the week, precipitation is expected over a wider area. A light frost will persist in many places during the nighttime hours, while daytime temperatures will be colder mainly in the eastern part of the country. In the west and along the coastal regions, temperatures will more often rise above 0°C. On certain days, as cyclone activity increases, the wind will strengthen — in the western and central regions it will become gustier, with the strongest gusts expected near the coast, reaching up to 18 m/s.
