Meteorologists are warning of a significant change in weather conditions in Latvia this weekend, as an active cyclone is expected to arrive from the south on Saturday, August 22.
The cyclone is forecast to bring heavy rain and strong winds to many parts of the country. Forecasters also say a storm or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out in some areas.
Of particular note is the potential intensity of the rainfall — in some locations, the amount of precipitation falling in a single day could match or even exceed the average rainfall typically expected over an entire month.
Residents are advised to monitor weather updates and further announcements from meteorologists in order to prepare for possible consequences of the storm.
