Forecasters predict warm, dry "second summer" stretching into October
Starting Sunday, Latvia is set for a spell of warm, sunny weather often called an Indian summer, which forecasters say could last well into October. Saturday will still bring clouds and occasional rain.
Latvia is about to see a pleasant shift in the weather, as forecasters predict the arrival of an extended warm spell — often referred to as an "Indian summer" — that will not be a fleeting event but could last for several weeks, potentially stretching into October.
The weekend
The last Saturday of September will still be cloudy, with rain expected in some areas. Winds will be light to moderate from the south and southwest, growing gustier along the coast. Nighttime temperatures will range from +9 to +14 degrees, while daytime highs will reach +11 to +16 degrees.
Conditions are expected to improve already on Sunday, with sunshine alternating with clouds and no precipitation expected during the latter part of the day. Winds will be light, and temperatures will climb to between +15 and +19 degrees.
Next week and beyond
The following week is expected to be mostly dry and sunny, with light to moderate winds blowing from the south and southeast. Morning temperatures will dip to between +3 and +10 degrees in cooler areas, while warmer afternoons could see readings of +17 to +22 degrees.
Forecasters note that the warm, dry weather could even persist into the second week of October, which would be unusually mild and dry for that time of year.
