Thursday will be mostly cloudy, although sunshine will break through in some areas. During the afternoon and evening, clouds may bring brief showers to parts of eastern Latvia, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre.
With light winds, fog is expected to form in some areas overnight, reducing visibility. Night-time temperatures will fall to between +10°C and +14°C, while coastal areas will remain slightly warmer at +15°C to +16°C. During the day, temperatures will rise to +21°C to +26°C, although many locations along the Gulf of Riga coast will remain cooler, with highs of +18°C to +21°C.
On Friday, sunshine will alternate with clouds, with fewer clouds expected across western and central Latvia during the daytime. Brief showers are possible overnight, while central and eastern parts of the country may also experience thunderstorms and heavy downpours. As light winds persist, fog may once again develop in some areas during the night and early morning. Overnight temperatures will range from +13°C to +18°C. During the day, temperatures will climb to +20°C to +25°C across most of Latvia, while parts of Kurzeme could reach as high as +28°C.
The Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre forecasts that the warm weather will continue through the end of the month. Over the weekend, a hot air mass arriving from Western Europe is expected to reach Latvia, with temperatures in many areas reaching and even exceeding +30°C.
As an anticyclone will dominate weather conditions across the country for most of the coming week, days are expected to remain predominantly sunny and dry. However, toward the end of the month, the hotter conditions may trigger thunderstorms in many areas, bringing heavier rainfall.
According to forecasters, the intense heat is expected to ease at the beginning of July, although temperatures will remain characteristically warm for the season.
