Latvia will continue to experience predominantly cloudy weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, although skies are expected to gradually clear from the west on Wednesday afternoon. Rain is forecast across many parts of the country, and localized thunderstorms may occur on Tuesday, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
Fog is expected to develop in some areas during the night and morning hours, reducing visibility. From midday on Tuesday, northwesterly and westerly winds along the coast will gradually strengthen to 5–10 metres per second, with gusts reaching 15–18 metres per second. On Wednesday, winds will remain light to moderate, although gusts of 15–18 metres per second are expected along the Gulf of Riga coast and in Vidzeme.
Night-time temperatures will fall to between +9°C and +14°C, while daytime temperatures will reach +14°C to +19°C.
During the second half of the week, an anticyclone will gradually move toward Latvia from the south, bringing more sunshine and increasingly stable weather conditions.
Although rainfall will become less frequent compared with the first half of the week, showers will not disappear entirely.
Rain is expected in eastern Latvia during Thursday night and in some western and central areas during the day. On Friday, scattered showers are forecast in some locations, while on Sunday rain is expected across a broader area of the country.
During the first half of Thursday night, westerly and southwesterly winds will remain gusty in Vidzeme. Night-time temperatures are expected to remain similar to previous days, but daytime temperatures will gradually rise. In many areas, temperatures will exceed +20°C, and by the weekend maximum temperatures could locally reach as high as +25°C.
At the beginning of next week, weather conditions will remain changeable. Rain clouds are still expected in some areas, but winds will stay light and temperatures will remain relatively warm, with daytime highs reaching around +20°C across much of the country, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
