As midsummer settles over the Baltic, Latvia turns its face toward a generous Friday sun — a day of warmth and light that arrives, as such days often do, with both gift and caution. Temperatures will climb comfortably across most of the country, though the east holds its own quieter counsel with clouds and passing rain. The sky offers abundance, but the meteorological service reminds that even abundance asks something of us: a hat, a moment of shade, a little forethought.
