On March 11, 2023, temperatures soared across Latvia, breaking records in ten separate observation stations according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Center (LVĢMC). The highest temperature was registered in Mērsrags at +13.3 degrees Celsius, surpassing the previous year's record. The capital city, Rīga, also experienced a notable increase in temperature, reaching +12.4 degrees Celsius.

The LVĢMC's network reported a range of temperatures throughout the day, from +6.1 degrees in Liepaja's port to +7.2 degrees in Ainaži, highlighting the varied climate conditions across the country. Notably, the national record from the previous year, which stood at +14.9 degrees Celsius, remained unbroken but still reflects a trend of warm weather in the region. The warm spell underscores ongoing climate trends affecting Latvia, with similar temperature fluctuations reported over recent weeks.

This recent warm weather is part of a broader pattern, as a total of 47 temperature records have been surpassed in the last two weeks alone. These changes may indicate shifts in seasonal weather patterns in Latvia, raising questions about the potential impacts of climate change on local climates, agriculture, and daily life as temperatures continue to deviate from historical norms.
