The meteorological forecasts for Monday predict predominantly sunny weather in the region of Latgale, while other parts of Latvia will experience mostly cloudy conditions with some clearing expected in certain areas. Additionally, light snow is anticipated in some locations, but overall, the weather will remain cold with temperatures ranging from -3 to -10 degrees Celsius.

In Riga, the capital city, significant precipitation is not expected, and the wind is predicted to be minimal. As a result of these conditions, the air quality may deteriorate, leading to higher levels of air pollution particularly in urban areas, where stagnant air can exacerbate the situation. The forecast indicates that the temperature in Riga will reach around -6 degrees Celsius.

The prevailing weather patterns are influenced by an anticyclone, which brings stable atmospheric conditions characterized by an atmospheric pressure of 1013-1015 hPa at sea level. With the lack of wind and the cold temperatures, it underlines the importance of monitoring air quality in cities where pollution may accumulate more easily without dispersal from wind.
