While many may be eagerly awaiting the arrival of winter, with its frosty mornings and snowy landscapes, it seems nature has other plans.
But here's the catch: despite a slight temperature drop early next week, the mercury won't dip below freezing. So, bundle up, but not too tightly! The forecast teases a mild start to the week, with temperatures ranging from +2 to +7 degrees Celsius in the early hours of Saturday, and a balmy +9 to +10 degrees in western Kurzeme. The daytime will offer a pleasant respite, with temperatures hovering between +7 and +12 degrees.
And this is where the forecast gets even more intriguing. As Sunday rolls around, the temperatures will take a slight dip, with minimums of 0 to +5 degrees in many regions. However, Kurzeme and the northern Vidzeme coast will enjoy slightly warmer conditions, with daytime highs of +6 to +11 degrees.
Now, here's the part that might surprise you: the forecast for the entire next week predicts above-freezing temperatures across Latvia. Nights will be relatively mild, ranging from +1 to +6 degrees, with coastal areas enjoying slightly warmer temperatures. Daytime temperatures will remain comfortable, ranging from +5 to +10 degrees. Although precipitation will be scarce, some light, drizzly rain might make an appearance on certain days.
The start of November has defied expectations, boasting an average temperature of 8.8 degrees for the first six days, a full 4.7 degrees above the climate norm.
