Warmer summer weather set to return to Latvia, with only isolated showers over the weekend

After a rain-soaked first half of the week, warmer summer weather is set to return to Latvia, with only isolated showers expected over the weekend, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.

Heavy rainfall has dominated much of the week, with all observation stations in Kurzeme and Zemgale already recording more precipitation than the monthly average. While the influence of cyclones will still bring rain to some areas over the coming days, a warmer air mass is expected to move into Latvia during the weekend, pushing temperatures above +25°C in some parts of the country early next week.

On Friday, 24 July, skies will remain mostly cloudy, although sunny spells are expected during the day. Scattered showers are forecast overnight in some areas and more widely across central and eastern Latvia during the daytime. Winds will remain light.
