As summer settles over the Baltic, Latvia finds itself wrapped in a generous stretch of warmth and light this Friday — a reminder that the natural world still offers its quieter gifts amid the noise of daily life. Most of the country will bask under clear skies with temperatures reaching a comfortable 26°C, while the eastern edges, as if holding onto a different mood, may see passing clouds and brief showers. A gentle south-westerly wind ties the day together, making it one of those rare occasions when the forecast itself feels like an invitation.
