About the time in Rīga
Rīga sits at latitude 56.98, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 49m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 08:51 local time, giving 14h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (56.98, 24.12) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rīga.
Rīga is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +3 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
