Sunday Weather Conditions and Temperature Forecasts Across Latvia
The weather in Latvia will shift following a dry and relatively warm Saturday, bringing a precipitation zone across the national territory on Sunday. The Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre (LVĢMC) predicts that daytime air temperatures will not exceed +14 degrees nationwide. However, additional reporting by Inbox.eu notes that daytime highs in certain areas may reach up to +17 degrees. Throughout Sunday, skies will remain mostly overcast, with periodic rain expected across the majority of the country. Heavy downpours are possible in isolated areas.

Regional Disparities in Rainfall and Fog Risks
Precipitation will not be distributed evenly. Inbox.eu reports that the main areas affected by rain will be the western regions and Vidzeme, while other parts of the country face a lower likelihood of precipitation.

Nighttime temperatures will drop to between +6 and +11 degrees, remaining slightly warmer along the coastal areas. The Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre notes that early in the night, southwestern and western coastal winds may still reach gusts of 15 meters per second. As light winds settle over the western and central parts of the country, fog and haze are expected to form overnight and potentially persist into the morning hours. Inbox.eu highlights that these conditions may reduce visibility on roadways, prompting warnings for drivers to exercise caution during night and morning travel.
