Weather and local Activities
In May it is usually pleasant, as it is a transitional spring weather. Daytime hights are around 15-17°C (59-63 °F). Nights will be cooler, dipping down to 7-8°C (45-46 °F). Most folks would consider this moderately chilly and breezy, expect some moderate rainfall and increasing sunshine as the month progress. (Our mothers would recommend "layers for varying temperatures"!)
Some local Activities recommended by ourselves and the local host:
- Art Nouveau Architecture: Riga is known for its stunning Art Nouveau buildings, and in May, the city comes alive with guided tours that showcase the best examples of this architectural style. Visitors can learn about the history and significance of Art Nouveau in Riga while admiring the intricate facades and ornate details of these beautiful buildings.
- Day Trip to Jurmala: May is the perfect time to visit the seaside beaches and town of Jurmala, located just a short drive from Riga. (Be aware that you need extra tickets for your car, they take pictures - based on personal experience!)
