March weather forecast
Latvia

March signals the start of spring in Latvia, but winter often lingers, particularly in the early part of the month. Average temperatures in March generally range from -1°C (30.2°F) to 4°C (39.2°F), marking a slight warming trend compared to February. However, it's not uncommon for cold snaps to occur, during which temperatures can plunge below freezing.

Riga, with its coastal position, begins to experience the moderating influence of the Baltic Sea, and the increase in daylight hours also contributes to a slow rise in temperature throughout the month. The capital's temperatures for March typically range from 0°C (32°F) to 5°C (41°F). Daugavpils, being further inland, experiences a slightly colder climate, with temperatures averaging between -2°C (28.4°F) to 3°C (37.4°F).

As March progresses, the snow that has blanketed Latvia through the winter gradually starts to melt, although some snowfall can still occur, especially in the early part of the month. This transition period can be marked by slushy conditions, particularly in urban areas.

In comparison to February, March sees a clear upward shift in temperatures, along with an increase in daylight hours. As the month progresses, the signs of spring become increasingly evident. Looking forward to April, the weather continues to warm, and the full bloom of spring becomes more apparent across the Latvian landscape.
