Saulkrasti: Weather Today

📅 Monday, May 25, 2026
Today is not an ideal day for a typical beach visit, so you might want to skip the seaside. The air temperature is quite cool, reaching only 14.6 °C, and the water remains far too cold for swimming at 11.6 °C. You will find the sky mostly filled with thick clouds, offering very little sunshine. Additionally, it is quite breezy along the shore, with winds strong enough to make sitting on the sand uncomfortable. While you are unlikely to encounter any rain, the combination of chilly air, biting wind, and a cold sea makes this a day better suited for staying indoors or finding a cozy spot away from the coast.
