Weather in Riga

As we step into Tuesday, the 15th of July, the weather in Riga will start on a clear and somewhat cool note. The early morning hours promise a crisp start with temperatures hovering around 16 degrees, dipping to a low of 15.9 degrees at 5 a.m. The humidity levels remain quite high, reaching around 94 percent, which might make it feel a bit damp during the early hours, with a nearly full cloud-free sky offering a serene landscape. Gentle breezes with wind gusts up to around 11.5 km/h in the early hours will accompany us, making it a good idea for young children and the elderly to wear a light jacket if they plan to head outside early.

As the day progresses, temperatures will rise steadily, making their way to a warm 23.9 degrees by the late afternoon. The day's feel will transition into something more balmy as the humidity decreases slightly, providing a sense of comfort despite the warmth. By midday, the cloud cover will start to increase, bringing partially cloudy conditions and a noticeable change in light as the sun plays peek-a-boo behind the clouds. The wind will pick up as well, with gusts elevating to 26.3 km/h, so for motorcyclists and bicyclists, it might be wise to ensure your gear is secure and take extra caution on the roads.

Garden enthusiasts will find the clear morning a good time to nurture their plants before the afternoon haze sets in. As the clouds build, offering some shade, light showers may be on the horizon as we head into the evening, though the chance of rain picks up only after 9 p.m. By late evening, dense cloud cover will result in overcast conditions, and a drizzle might make an appearance. Winds will calm slightly as night falls, and the consistent overcast skies will hold in the warmth, keeping nighttime temperatures around 17.3 degrees.

For pet owners and anyone planning evening activities, prepare for a likely rain shower after 9 p.m., and consider keeping your indoor plans flexible just in case. Car drivers may need to turn on their lights early as visibility might be slightly reduced due to the cloudy skies, so caution is advised.

All in all, anticipate a dry and bright day turning into a cozy, cloud-covered evening, with the possibility of rain bringing a refreshing close to the day. Keeping an umbrella handy late into the evening could be a smart move!
