Spring (April - June)

The weather in early spring is damp, with temperatures only reaching highs in the low 40’s F. This is a slow season, which means it is a great time to save money and avoid huge tourist crowds. Later in spring (late April and beginning of June), the air temperatures increase to high 60’s F.

The spring is often accompanied by significant flooding as Latvian rivers overflow. The high water level in the rivers, however, is the best time for boating. The Amata is one of the fastest rivers great for boating, while Gauja River is the most popular with boaters. Spring is also a great time for bird watchers as flocks of migrating birds fly over Latvia. The spring is the time when lilacs bloom beautifully all over the country.
