Daytime temperatures will generally reach +9°C to +16°C throughout the day. On Thursday, Vidzeme will remain a few degrees cooler than other parts of the country. Fortunately, the rain will gradually fade away as the day progresses on Thursday.
Sunny Relief for the Weekend
By the end of the week, an anticyclone will move in to strengthen its influence over Latvia. Consequently, the skies will clear up significantly, and we expect no precipitation. A gentle northerly wind will continue to blow during this period. Nighttime lows will remain between +3°C and +8°C. During the day, temperatures will climb to +9°C and +16°C, though some spots might reach +18°C.
Warming Trends Next Week
Looking ahead to the start of next week, the weather promises to warm up further. Temperatures in many locations will likely climb above +20°C once again. Nevertheless, residents should remain prepared for changing conditions.
Forecasters predict rain will return to many parts of the country by early next week. Some of these showers may become heavy and involve thunderstorms in specific locations.
