Take note – story published 1 year and 3 months ago

Wednesday night brought large thunderstorms to much of Latvia and, though probably not as violent, Thursday will bring more of the same, according to the latest forecasts.

A yellow alert (potential danger) is in place across the whole country with the exception of eastern and south-eastern districts where a more serious orange alert (danger) is in effect, according to the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Center (LVĢMC).

In a first warning, the LVĢMC said strong wind gusts of up to 15 meters per second can be expected in places, as well as 10-19 mm of rain, with hail also possible.

However, soon afterwards an update suggested even heavier rain might be expected.
