Weather Update: A Mix of Fog, Clouds, and Rain on the Horizon
As the week progresses, weather patterns over the island are set to bring a variety of conditions starting with a localised thin layer of fog lifting on Thursday morning. This will give way to intermittent clouds that will sporadically grace the skies. Residents and visitors should be prepared for a changeable atmosphere as the day unfolds.
The forecast suggests that by the afternoon, the island could experience isolated rains and even an occasional storm. These weather events are expected to be more prevalent in certain areas, including the mountains, southern and eastern coasts, and inland regions. The possibility of hailstones has also been mentioned, indicating that some storms may be intense.
With the fluctuating weather, temperatures will remain relatively mild. The mercury is set to rise to a comfortable 26 degrees Celsius inland, while coastal areas will enjoy a slightly cooler 24 degrees Celsius. Those venturing into the mountainous regions can expect a cooler climate with temperatures around 17 degrees Celsius.
As night falls, the cloudy weather will persist, and a light mist along with patches of fog are anticipated to develop. This will bring a slight chill to the air as temperatures dip to 12 degrees Celsius inland, with coastal areas ranging from 13 to 14 degrees Celsius, and the mountains seeing a further drop to eight degrees Celsius.
The cloudy cover is set to continue into Friday and over the weekend. The mornings may start with thin fog in certain areas, clearing up as the day progresses. However, the afternoons could once again see isolated rains and potential storms. Despite this unsettled weather pattern, temperatures are forecasted to gradually increase as the week comes to a close.
Inhabitants of the island should remain alert to the changing conditions and plan accordingly, whether it involves carrying an umbrella or enjoying the warmth of the sun during clearer moments.
