Good weather

Describing pleasant conditions.

🌍

문화적 배경

Latvians often use weather as a 'safe' topic to avoid awkward silences without getting too personal. It's the ultimate social lubricant. In the Baltics, 'good weather' is almost synonymous with 'sunlight' due to the long, dark winters. Historically, 'labs laiks' meant weather suitable for haymaking or harvesting, which was critical for survival. In Riga, 'labs laiks' is the cue for everyone to head to the 'Lido' outdoor terraces or Jūrmala.
