Weather in Riga
We're looking at a chilly week ahead in Riga beginning on Monday, December 9th, 2024. Monday kicks off with temperatures hovering around zero degrees, dropping slightly throughout the day. Although it remains mostly overcast in the morning, by afternoon and into the night, conditions begin to clear, with temperatures dipping to -2.5 degrees. The cold will be accentuated by a wind chill that makes it feel a few degrees colder. Pet owners should ensure their furry companions are kept warm during morning walks, and elderly people should take care to dress warmly to avoid catching a chill.
On Tuesday, December 10th, the weather remains quite cold, with temperatures starting from -3 degrees in the early hours, but with cloud cover, it feels a bit milder compared to Monday night. The sky remains overcast for much of the day, with sunshine peeking through occasionally, particularly in the afternoon. Again, as temperatures linger around zero by midday, children and those with sensitive health should be mindful when spending extended periods outdoors.
By Wednesday, the 11th, there's a slight uptick in temperatures, rising to 3.7 degrees by the afternoon, providing a brief respite from the chill. This day shows some partly cloudy conditions allowing for more sunshine, and it would be ideal for anyone planning a walk or outdoor activities.
Thursday returns with colder conditions once more, as clouds dominate the skies again. Temperatures are just below freezing, and there's a slight chance of mixed rain and snow in the morning, so drivers and motorcyclists should be prepared for potentially slippery roads. The wind picks up throughout the day potentially making outdoor activities less comfortable, so wind-proof clothing is advisable.
Friday’s weather is forecasted to be quite mixed. We're experiencing fluctuating conditions with some clear skies in the morning transitioning into an overcast afternoon. Morning temperatures start a little higher at around 2 degrees, cooling as the day progresses, with winds increasing again into the evening. The possibility of rain later in the day suggests it might be a good time to wrap up any outdoor errands before the evening.
Finally, Saturday gradually warms up slightly with temperatures moving up towards 3 degrees again by the afternoon. However, Saturday remains largely overcast so that warming effect might be somewhat subdued. As snow is predicted late in the evening, car drivers should be cautious, ensuring their vehicles are winter-ready.
Throughout the week, it’s important to stay updated as conditions might change and we’ll experience fluctuations in temperature and different weather patterns. Dressing in layers, ensuring children and elderly are warm, and staying safe on potentially icy roads will be key.
