Weather in Riga
Tomorrow, Friday, January 31st, promises to be a rather gloomy day in Riga. We can expect overcast skies throughout the entire day, with little to no sunlight breaking through the dense cloud cover. Temperatures will start from a mild 4 degrees in the early morning, feeling a bit cooler at around 2 degrees, due to the high humidity levels hovering over 90%.
As the day progresses, the thermometer will rise slightly, peaking at about 5 degrees in the afternoon. However, the high humidity combined with persistent winds blowing from the south at about 10 kilometers per hour will make it feel colder than it actually is. By evening, temperatures will dip again to around 3.5 degrees.
Rain is anticipated to make its first appearance as early as 3 AM, and it will be a consistent companion throughout the day, especially intensifying during the afternoon hours when precipitation probability reaches as high as 58%. Given this persistent rain, it's wise for us to carry waterproof clothing and sturdy umbrellas.
For those who need to venture outdoors, layers will be essential to stay warm without overheating once indoors. For young mothers with children, it's crucial to ensure that the little ones are bundled up, as they might feel the chill more acutely, especially with the dampness. Elderly people should be cautious too, as the wet conditions might make surfaces slippery.
Motorcyclists and cyclists, take extra care on the roads due to reduced visibility and potentially slick surfaces. Car drivers should maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and be prepared for sudden stops. Pet owners might find walks more of a challenge given the rainy conditions, so perhaps consider shorter outings or indoor playtime.
With humidity levels remaining high, gardeners, especially those with greenhouses, might need to manage moisture levels carefully to prevent mold and mildew. Although it isn't gardening season for most, indoor plant enthusiasts might want to regulate humidity inside their homes.
On a positive note, there's no significant severe weather risk tomorrow, and the UV index remains low, so we won't need to worry about sunburn. However, keeping our spirits up despite the weather might be the biggest challenge of the day. Stay safe, stay dry, and perhaps enjoy a cozy day indoors when possible.
