The Last Ice is Melting in the Gulf of Riga. Monday Will Be Cloudy 0 15

Satellite images from Sunday showed that ice floes remain north of Ruhnu Island, and there are still areas where ice persists along the coast of Estonia.

The last ice is also melting in other parts of the Baltic Sea — it still remains in places in the northeastern part of the Gulf of Finland and in the northern part of the Gulf of Bothnia.

According to data from the Finnish Meteorological Institute, the ice area in the Baltic Sea increased to 181,000 square kilometers on February 20 this year, reaching the highest level since 2011.

It was previously reported that the past winter in Latvia was the coldest since the winter of 2010–2011, while March became the warmest first month of spring in the history of meteorological observations, sharing this title with 2007.

The water temperature off the coast of Latvia has currently risen to 2–7 degrees, according to information from the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre (LEGMC).

In rivers and lakes, the water has warmed to 4–9 degrees. The water level is decreasing or fluctuating slightly.

On Monday, clouds will occasionally cover the sun

On Monday, the sun in Latvia will be occasionally covered by clouds, which will bring brief rain in some areas of the eastern and central regions, and small hail is also possible.

Meteorologists forecast that the wind will be predominantly weak, coming from the east and southeast. The maximum air temperature will be +9–+14 degrees.

In Riga, variable cloudiness is expected, and precipitation is unlikely. With a light wind, the thermometer will rise to +13 degrees, while slightly cooler air will remain in the northern part of the city, where a sea breeze is expected.

Weather conditions are determined by an anticyclone. Atmospheric pressure will be 1027–1030 hPa at sea level.
