Riga Municipal Police report that water temperature in nearly all the capital's swimming spots, except the sea, has reached at least 20 degrees Celsius.

Riga Municipal Police have released data on water temperatures at the capital's swimming spots, showing conditions have become fairly warm.

According to the police, water in all Riga swimming areas except the seaside has warmed to at least 20 degrees Celsius. This means that most of the city's inland water bodies used for swimming currently offer comfortable conditions for the bathing season.

The report does not specify the sea water temperature separately, but notes that the sea is the exception where conditions differ from the other swimming spots.
