Average temperature across Latvia in July.
Rīgas jūras līcis and Jūrmala
July: Warmest month in the region, often 18-24°C, and sunny spells make beaches popular - expect crowded promenades and full ferry services to nearby coastal towns. Short, sometimes intense, thunderstorms can punctuate hot days; these rapidly clear and leave the air fresher. If you prefer quieter visits, early morning walks in Riga or exploring quieter side streets are best; sunscreen and a light rain jacket are sensible packing choices.
Liepāja, Ventspils, Cape Kolka and Kuldīga
July: Peak summer brings warm spells often in the low to mid-20s°C but the coast seldom becomes stifling; beaches are busiest and small-town cafés are lively. Short, local thunderstorms cool the air and can close some minor roads temporarily, but festivals and outdoor events run in full swing. If you prefer quieter experiences, early mornings on the sands or visiting coastal bird reserves are best.
Sigulda, Cēsis, Valmiera
July: Warm, often settled weather with daytime highs 18-24°C and occasional hot spells; the forests provide welcome shade from the sun. Peak tourist season brings more visitors to Gauja National Park and popular trails can be busy, so early starts are wise for solitude. Short, sometimes heavy thunderstorms cool the air and make river activities lively - bring quick-drying clothing and a rain jacket.
Jelgava, Bauska, Rundāle
July: Hotter, occasionally reaching mid to high 20s°C on heatwave days, and rural areas offer expansive skies and long sunlit evenings. This is harvest-in-waiting time and farm life is at its busiest; country roads can be busy on summer weekends with locals visiting lakes. Bring sun protection, fill water bottles for long cycle rides and be aware that summer thunderstorms can appear suddenly.
Daugavpils, Rēzekne, Lake Rāzna, Lubāns
July: Warmest month with frequent sunny days and temperatures often between 18-25°C, though occasional thunderstorms can interrupt lake activities. Lakesare full and perfect for swimming, kayaking and fishing; expect busy weekends at popular lakeside spots. Pack swimwear and quick-dry clothing, a rain jacket for brief summer storms, and mosquito repellent for evenings near reeds and shallow coves.
There are no major festivals or events in Latvia during July to be aware of.
