Thick fog has settled over numerous areas of Latvia during the early hours of Friday, according to available meteorological data. In foggy areas, visibility has dropped to between 100 and 500 meters, conditions that could complicate travel, particularly for drivers.
Impact on traffic
With such limited visibility, motorists are advised to exercise extra caution — reducing speed and increasing following distance between vehicles. Dense fog typically forms on autumn mornings when there is a pronounced difference between nighttime and daytime temperatures.
Warmth expected later in the day
Despite the foggy start, weather conditions are set to improve as the day progresses, with air temperatures climbing to +21 degrees Celsius. Such warmth is notably high for early October, suggesting a temporary mild spell before autumn weather patterns become more established.
Residents should expect reduced visibility during the morning hours, while midday and afternoon are forecast to bring pleasant and warm conditions.
