The Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre (LVĢMC) has recorded wind gusts of up to 29 metres per second (m/s) in Daugavgrīva.

The reading indicates notably strong wind conditions in this coastal district near the mouth of the Daugava River. Wind measurements are regularly taken in the area, as it is one of the locations where weather conditions tend to be more pronounced than further inland.

LVĢMC is the Latvian institution responsible for collecting and publishing meteorological, hydrological and environmental data. Its measurements are used both for routine weather forecasting and for issuing warnings about hazardous weather conditions.

The recorded figure reflects a momentary reading and may change depending on how weather conditions develop in the coming hours.
