Meteorologists claim Monday will be sunny — Karosta Prison inmates laugh skeptically
Weather forecasters promise sunshine, but Liepāja residents remember they once promised a winter without snow too.
Meteorologists announce with unusual confidence that this week's Monday will be sunny and dry. In Liepāja, locals receive this news with healthy skepticism, as they well remember last year's promises of a warmer winter and other forecasting miracles.
"If they say it'll be sunny, I'm taking an umbrella," comments Daina from Old Liepāja. "I think these meteorologists have never been to Karosta Prison — even on a sunny day it's cold and gloomy there. It's a real horror experience not just for tourists, but for weather forecasters too."
Temperatures are promised around plus thirteen degrees, which in Liepāja conditions means it'll be as warm as a Rīga apartment in winter with central heating. The forecast does warn of morning fog, which is hardly news — in Liepāja, fog is as traditional as sand in your shoes after beach walks.
In the second half of the week, meteorologists promise even plus fifteen degrees, meaning Liepāja residents will be able to remove one of their three jacket layers. Meanwhile in Rīga, such weather will be considered the start of summer, but we know it's just spring warm-up before the real wind season begins.
