Latvia’s longest day of the year, the summer solstice on June 21st, is predicted to be a hot one. The Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre forecasts high temperatures throughout the day. However, the heat will be accompanied by a shift in weather conditions. Thunderstorms are expected to develop in the afternoon, potentially bringing localized heavy rainfall and disruptions. Residents are advised to prepare for both the heat and the possibility of inclement weather. The forecast suggests a dynamic weather pattern for the solstice, marking a contrast between the extended daylight hours and unstable atmospheric conditions.
