On the coast of Kurzeme and along the Gulf of Riga, an alert has been issued for strong southern, southwesterly winds, which may increase in gusts of up to 20-22 meters per second.
Meanwhile, Riga City Council has indicated that on January 22 and 23, pedestrians and drivers alike should be very cautious as the ice layer is forming rapidly, and as the rain continues, it is emerging again and again.
