The cold record for this date, May 9, has been set in Madona, Rēzekne, Dagda, Alūksne and Gulbene. In Rēzekne and Dagda, this is an all-month record, which means that never before has May recorded such low temperatures.

For Kurzeme, most of the extreme west of Zemgale and Vidzeme, the frost has passed since the sky was overcast at night, with some rain in places.
Forecasts show there will be no more frosts in Latvia next night, but during the weekend and early next week, temperatures will approach zero at night.
