Latvia is expected to experience a relatively warm but notably windy Monday, with significant wind activity forecasted across several regions.
Regional Weather Outlook
Meteorological forecasts indicate that western and northwestern winds will strengthen, reaching speeds of between 13 and 17 meters per second in some areas. Vidzeme, Zemgale, and Latgale are expected to be particularly affected by these windy conditions.
The most intense wind gusts are anticipated to occur during the afternoon and evening, specifically in the eastern part of the country. While daytime temperatures are expected to range from +17 to +22 degrees, coastal areas may remain cooler, with temperatures potentially not exceeding +15 degrees.
Conditions in Riga
In the capital, Riga, the day is expected to remain partly cloudy with occasional sunshine and no daytime precipitation. While temperatures in the city may rise to approximately +20 degrees, northwestern wind gusts of up to 14 meters per second could make the air feel noticeably fresher near the sea.
Precipitation and Safety Advisories
Although the sky will be partly cloudy, brief rain showers are possible in some areas of eastern Latvia. Later in the evening, a broader area of precipitation may begin to cover the country, moving in from the northwest.
Meteorologists advise caution when wind gusts exceed 15 meters per second, particularly near trees, construction sites, and temporary structures. Such weather conditions may also make walks in open spaces or by the water less comfortable, especially as the wind strengthens in the evening.
