Storm aftermath in Jūrmala: worst damage reported along the seaside
Following the storm on August 23, the coastal area of Jūrmala suffered the heaviest damage, with wind snapping and toppling mainly deciduous trees. Main roads have been cleared, but some side streets remain closed.
In the wake of the storm that hit Jūrmala on August 23, 2026, the most significant damage was recorded along the sea coast, where strong winds broke and uprooted trees, mostly deciduous ones.
The city's main roads have been cleared of fallen trees and are passable. However, the situation on some side streets has not yet fully returned to normal — on Olgas Street, for instance, a section remains closed to traffic due to fallen trees.
In several locations around Jūrmala, fallen trees were also seen resting on power lines, posing additional risks and potential disruptions.
The overview of the damage was compiled by driving through Jūrmala after the storm and documenting the situation on the ground.
