Thaw intensifies in Latvia, rain expected in some areas, and refreezing possible in the east

Latvia is expected to experience a thaw with rain in northern areas and potential refreezing in the east, while fog may affect visibility in the morning hours.

In Latvia, a weather change is on the horizon as the thaw intensifies, particularly affecting northern regions where rain is anticipated. This will accompany cloudy skies throughout the day, and residents can expect temperatures to rise to between +1 and +5 degrees Celsius. However, the situation may be complicated in eastern areas where refreezing is possible, which could lead to slippery conditions on the roads.

Furthermore, the weather is expected to bring a light to moderate southerly and southwestern wind, especially noticeable in coastal regions where gusts may reach up to 15-16 meters per second. In the capital city of Riga, mostly cloudy weather is predicted, but as for precipitation, rain is not anticipated, allowing for a somewhat clearer day despite the overall cloudy conditions.

As the season transitions, such fluctuations in temperature and weather patterns remind residents of the variability of climate in Latvia during this time of year. The combination of warmer temperatures and potential refreezing reinforces the need for caution, particularly for those traveling in affected areas where visibility could be reduced due to fog and road conditions may vary due to fluctuating temperatures.
