Weather Update: A Mix of Showers and Sunshine
As the week progresses, the weather appears to be playing a game of hide and seek with the sun. Wednesday’s forecast predicts a day of contrasts, with isolated morning showers gracing the east and north. Those who enjoy the pitter-patter of raindrops might find pleasure in the afternoon’s offering of rains or storms, with the mountains, south, east, and interior regions being the main stage for these natural performances.
The mercury is set to climb to a comfortable 23C across the interior and coastal areas, while the higher mountain regions can expect a cooler 12C. Early risers will be greeted by variable and light breezes at 3 Beaufort, which will later shift to a more decisive south-to north-westerly direction. These winds are expected to remain light to moderate, reaching up to 4 Beaufort. Mariners and beachgoers should take note that the sea will present a rough demeanor throughout the day.
As night falls, the skies will mostly clear, but not without a dance of increased low clouds from time to time. A thin veil of fog may also descend upon the interior and the south-eastern coasts, adding a touch of mystery to the nocturnal landscape. The temperature will gracefully dip to 13C in both interior and coastal regions, while those nestled in the higher mountains will experience a chillier 7C. The winds will persist in their south- to north-westerly whispers, maintaining a weak to moderate presence of up to 4 Beaufort. The sea’s roughness will continue into the night.
Looking ahead to Thursday through Saturday, the skies will wear a cloak of increased cloud cover intermittently, which could bring about afternoon rains or storms, particularly in the mountains, south, and inland areas. Temperature-wise, Thursday promises a warm embrace as it rises and decides to linger above average for the season until Saturday.
Whether you’re planning outdoor activities or just going about your daily routine, it’s wise to keep an umbrella close at hand while enjoying the warmer temperatures that are gracing this time of year.
