Temperatures expected to reach +12 degrees on Sunday

Latvian meteorologists predict mild weather with temperatures ranging from +5 to +12 degrees Celsius and advise on current water levels in rivers due to melting snow and ice.

Latvian meteorologists have forecasted pleasant weather for Sunday, with temperatures expected to reach between +7 and +12 degrees Celsius. The weather will remain mostly clear with little cloud cover, although some areas may experience pockets of fog during the morning hours. In Riga, sunshine is anticipated, with temperatures likely to hover around +8 to +10 degrees Celsius. Overall, it appears to be a dry day with a light breeze, making it favorable for outdoor activities.

Simultaneously, the meteorologists have issued warnings regarding rising water levels in the rivers due to the melting of snow and ice. Although the sunny weather is welcome, it is important for residents to be cautious around rivers, as the streamflow is expected to increase significantly. Conditions in the rivers, particularly in the western and central parts of Latvia as well as in Vidzeme and Latgale, indicate that there could be potential flooding in some areas as water levels rise rapidly.

With ice remaining in some of the faster-flowing sections of the rivers in western Latvia, authorities are reminding citizens about the dangers it presents. The ice is becoming increasingly unstable, and there are reports of water flowing over the ice surface, a sign that the integrity of the ice is compromised. Safety measures should be taken seriously as these conditions could lead to hazardous situations for those near water bodies.
