Weather Update: What to Expect in Latvia and Riga

General Weather Across Latvia

Imagine the wind is like a gentle giant blowing from the southwest to the south. It won’t be too strong—just light to moderate, like a breeze you feel on your face.

• The air will get nicely warm: +19 to +24 degrees.
• Think of it as a comfortable spring or summer day.

Weather in Riga (The Capital City)

Riga will have a sky that is mostly covered with clouds (overcast), like a big gray blanket. But don’t worry—the sun might play peek-a-boo and come out sometimes!

• No rain expected in Riga.
• Wind: southwest to south, light to moderate (same gentle giant as before).
• Temperature: +22 to +24 degrees in the city.

Important Point: Even though it’s cloudy, you probably won’t need an umbrella in Riga today!

Sun Safety: UV Index

The ultraviolet (UV) radiation index tells us how strong the sun’s rays are. On Sunday in Latvia, this index will be moderate.

• That means the sun can lightly tan or burn you if you stay out a long time.
• A hat or some sunscreen is a smart idea if you play outside.

Looking Ahead: Early Next Week

Remember that gentle wind? Well, a new cyclone (a big spinning storm system) will visit Latvia at the start of next week.

• It will bring more rain—think of it as the sky crying.
• On Monday and Tuesday, some places may get heavy and long-lasting rains.

Important Point: If you have plans early next week, keep an umbrella or raincoat ready!

Summary

• Latvia: Light to moderate southwest/south wind, +19 to +24°C.
• Riga: Cloudy with sun peeks, no rain, +22 to +24°C.
• UV index: Moderate on Sunday.
• Next week: A cyclone brings rainier weather, with heavy rain likely Monday–Tuesday.
