This week in Latvia will be characterised by persistently warm weather for the season, with the air temperature stable above zero, and on some days even getting close to +10 C.
There is also likely to be some form of light precipitation on most days too, but only Wednesday is likely to be properly rainy.
Night-time temperatures might drop a shade below freezing, but Tuesday and Wednesday should see remaining patches of snow and ice disappearing rapidly with temperatures of 9 C to 10 C during the day.
Prevailing winds will be from the south, and may become gusty from Wednesday to Friday with wind speeds of 15-18 meters per second.
Despite the big melt, which will see rivers and lakes clear of ice, flooding is not expected to be a problem.
However, the state Fire and Rescue Service is reminding ice fisherman and others not to venture out onto the unstable ice.
