June 27 is the Day of the Seven Sleepers, according to the Latvian people. If the sun shines on this day, it will shine for seven more days in a row, but if it rains, it will rain for seven more days. In addition, if the rain does not stop after seven days, it will rain for another seven weeks, folk beliefs say.
The Seven Sleepers Day, marked June 27, after the calendar reform, came out on July 10, and the calendar, for example, mentions both days, each with a slightly different name. Folk beliefs predict longer precipitation even if it rains on July 10, which is the Day of the Seven Brothers. If it rains on this day, the precipitation is expected for another seven weeks.
