On Sunday, the air temperature could drop to -30 degrees
Latvia is expected to experience a significant drop in temperatures over the weekend, with forecasts indicating that the temperature could plummet to -30 degrees Celsius in some areas due to a cold air influx from the north.
Following a snowstorm, the weather in Latvia is set to clear as cold air moves in from the north, according to meteorologists. Snowfall is expected to cease overnight Friday from the western parts of the country, with clearer skies and a potential thaw in the southern regions of Latgale, while temperatures will drop significantly, reaching lows of -9 to -14 degrees Celsius due to gusty north and northeast winds.
Saturday and Sunday are forecasted to be primarily sunny. With calm conditions on Sunday morning, many areas may see temperatures dipping to between -25 to -30 degrees Celsius. However, during the day, the sun is expected to raise temperatures above -10 degrees in most parts of the country. As the night approaches Monday, there is a chance that temperatures may also drop close to -30 degrees in some areas, although cloud cover could mitigate the severity of the cold.
The initial weather predictions for next week indicate that Latvia will not see a strong anticyclone or active cyclones, with snow clouds passing through on some days. The greatest cold is anticipated in the eastern regions of the country, highlighting the ongoing fluctuations of winter weather and the potential impacts on daily life and activities in Latvia as residents brace for the harsh conditions ahead.
