Latvia has officially entered solar autumn, marking the end of its brightest quarter, according to timeanddate.com. This transition signifies a shift in the amount of daylight received, with days becoming noticeably shorter. The solar autumn is determined by the sun’s position in relation to the equator, not necessarily coinciding with the meteorological autumn. This astronomical event indicates a decrease in solar energy and a gradual move towards winter. While meteorological autumn begins with the first signs of falling temperatures, solar autumn focuses solely on the sun’s declination. The change impacts daylight hours and overall light intensity experienced in the country. This marks a period of increasing darkness and a shift in seasonal conditions for Latvia.
