Autumn.
The sun is still high in the sky, shining a warm and golden light, reminiscent of the bygone summer.
Forests become a kaleidoscope of colours - from flaming orange to bright magenta, from warm terra cotta to honey yellow, and a thousand shades in between.
Autumn and weather.
Autumn in Latvia lasts from September to December. Formally the average air temperature decreases from +10 degrees C (50 degrees F) in September to about 0 C (32 F) in November. Yet normally September is pretty warm, dry and sunny.
Autumn colours in Latvia are at their best in mid-October, which incidentally is also a great time to visit in terms of weather.
The sweltering heat of summer has gone, and the cold winter winds haven’t yet kicked in. There’s also still a fair amount of sunlight, with the sun rising around 6 am and setting at about 7 pm.
Latvia is well known for its beautiful, bright autumn foliage colors. Depending on the year, the best autumn colors usually are from second to the third week of October, some years starting from the beginning of the month, some years, more towards the end.
