Weather for Riga

Best time to visit:

The Baltic Sea is just over 12km (7 miles) away, but Riga's weather is not as harsh as some imagine. Winter can be long, dark and bitter but spring and summer days are often blessed with balmy daytime temperatures and long hours of daylight. When the sun shines, the city's numerous parks fill up, tables spill out of cafes and revellers laze by the city canal, in a scene that is more Mediterranean than Eastern European.
