There will be a strong south-southwest wind that will turn to west-northwest in the afternoon. Gusts across the country may reach 15-20 meters per second, in the south-west of Kurzeme 22-25 meters per second.
Such winds will carry little damage, mainly by breaking down individual trees or their branches.
Air temperature will reach +4 C to +8 C by the middle of the day but in the afternoon it will be cooler, and in the evening the temperature will be near zero, so the roads will be icy in many places.

In Riga, too, there will be large puddles on the streets, some streets may be flooded and difficult to drive.
