Meteorologists Reveal: Friday Will Be Sunny Because the Sun Will Shine — Revolution in Weather Forecasting

The Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre today announced a sensational discovery — if there are no clouds, then it's sunny weather. While Riga meteorologists are still figuring out whether +7 degrees is warm or cold, our Liepāja specialists have already understood: if the wind blows from the north, then it comes from the side where the north is.

Especially pleased are those planning to go to the beach — the Baltic Sea will be windy and cold even in summer, so +3 degrees on Friday will seem like a tropical vacation. As local beachgoer Edgars comments: "Finally I can take off my winter jacket and put on just my autumn jacket. Progress!"

In Riga the situation will be even more complicated — temperature will fluctuate from +3 to +7 degrees depending on whether you're standing in the north or south of the city. This means Riga's residents will be able to experience a four-degree difference walking from one street to another. We don't have such problems in Liepāja — here it's equally windy everywhere.

The biggest sensation — at 4:46 PM astronomical spring will begin. Astronomers promise that this time it won't be fake spring, but real spring, with documents and a stamp. Atmospheric pressure will rise to 1021 hectopascals in western Kurzeme, which is almost as much pressure as Riga politicians put on their voters.
