An anticyclone will start shaping the weather in Latvia this weekend, bringing less precipitation, though fog will still form in places at night and temperatures will dip below zero in parts of the country.

On Saturday daytime, rain is expected in western and central regions. Overnight into Sunday, light rain is possible only in central areas, while Sunday daytime is forecast to be dry and mostly sunny.
Mainly in eastern and central regions, fog will form in places at night and may linger into the morning or even late morning. A light to moderate southerly wind will blow, turning to a northerly direction on Saturday afternoon.
Temperature
Night-time temperatures will average +3 to +8 degrees. In the east, frost is expected in places, with temperatures falling to 0 to −2 degrees. Daytime highs will be +8 to +13 degrees, with Friday a couple of degrees warmer.
