What to expect
Daytime
Days in Riga in March are about getting between indoor places. The cold is the story. Gloves are not a fashion choice.
A clear spell is for a short walk, then back in. Do not plan a long outdoor day as the default. Night falls early and the cold deepens with it.
Rain
March is on the drier side of the year in Riga. Showers are possible. They do not define the month.
A shell that lives in the bag is enough. This is not October, and it should not be packed as if it were.

What to pack
