Autumn (October - November)

The transition from warm weather to cold is a very long-time transition in Latvia, which takes place from the middle of September until the beginning of December. Temperature decreases from 50° F to low 30’s °F day by day during all this period. The weather transitions from sunny days to rainy days in late fall. November generally is when you’ll see the first snowfall here. During the golden autumn period, the foliage turns colorful red, orange, and golden across Latvia.

Autumn is considered a shoulder season in Latvia, when many visitors come, even in the late November season. This is a great time to visit the National parks that offer particularly stunning views of the colorful treetops. Autumn is also the hunting season, when a great variety of game can be hunted throughout the country. This is also a great time to visit the old castles. In the capital city of Riga, the Latvian National Opera and Ballet opens its new season in autumn. There are numerous cozy cafes where you can enjoy seeking refuge from the cold, and great restaurants offering up hearty meals.
