Monday brings cloudy skies, scattered rain and stronger winds across Latvia
Latvia's weather forecasters expect mostly cloudy skies on Monday with scattered light rain in many areas and strengthening winds, while temperatures rise to +16 degrees. A cyclone over the Norwegian Sea is driving the conditions.
Latvia starts the work week under mostly cloudy skies, with meteorologists forecasting scattered light rain in many parts of the country on Monday.
Winds pick up
A west to southwest wind will strengthen during the day, with gusts reaching 8–13 meters per second inland and up to 16 meters per second along the coast. The stronger coastal gusts point to noticeably breezier conditions near the sea than further inland.
Temperatures
Air temperatures on Monday will climb to between +11 and +16 degrees Celsius, a relatively mild range typical of early autumn.
Conditions in Riga
In the capital, skies will also turn cloudy, with the possibility of light rain. A moderate southwest wind will blow, and temperatures in Riga will reach +14 to +15 degrees.
What's driving the weather
The current conditions in Latvia are being shaped by a cyclone positioned over the Norwegian Sea. Atmospheric pressure at sea level ranges between 1015 and 1019 hectopascals, indicating a somewhat unstable but not extreme weather pattern.
Forecasters note that the summer-like warmth of recent days is gradually giving way to more typical autumn conditions — clouds, rain and stronger winds — though temperatures remain relatively comfortable for the season.
