Liepaja: Weather Today

📅 Friday, May 1, 2026
Today is certainly not a day for swimming or lounging on the sand in Liepaja, as conditions remain quite chilly. While the sky will feature a fair amount of sunshine with only light clouds drifting by, the air temperature reaching 11.7 °C is far too cold for traditional beach activities. You may enjoy a brisk walk along the shoreline, as the sea is calm with very gentle movement, but the water temperature of 6.6 °C is extremely cold and not suitable for entering. A light breeze will be noticeable throughout the day, so be sure to dress warmly if you head to the coast. It is definitely a better day for a jacket and a hot drink than a swimsuit.
