The new week in Latvia is forecasted to begin with a significant drop in temperatures, as reported by the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre. Night temperatures are predicted to plummet to between -14 and -19 degrees Celsius, with central and eastern regions potentially experiencing even colder conditions, ranging from -20 to -23 degrees. Despite the cold, the skies are expected to be mostly clear, with little cloud cover and no precipitation, although a gentle breeze could lead to localized fog in certain areas.

In the capital city of Riga, the temperatures will also be frigid, expected to hover around -15 to -17 degrees during the night, with slightly lower temperatures predicted further from the city center. Monday's daytime conditions will be dry and predominantly sunny, with temperatures rising to between -6 and -11 degrees Celsius throughout Latvia, while coastal areas may reach as high as -5 to -6 degrees due to moderating influences from the sea.

Overall, the cold weather is anticipated to persist at least through Monday, with the gentle southern winds contributing to the chilly feel, but not bringing any moisture or significant weather changes. Clear conditions are expected to prevail, allowing residents to enjoy the crisp winter weather while preparing for a challenging week ahead due to the extreme cold temperatures.
