Gnarly winds & dusty skies: Ride the breeze!

Get ready for gusty winds, dusty days, and a glimpse of clear skies ahead

Newsroom

So, here’s the scoop: A cheeky little low-pressure system and some rambunctious northeasterly winds are making their way through the area, bringing with them some atmospheric dust sprinkles (because why not?).

Today, expect a mix of clouds, a little extra dust (it’s like nature’s confetti), and winds that are feeling a little extra strong, especially from the northeast and east. These winds will be blowing at a moderate to strong 4-5 Beaufort, and in some spots, they might crank it up to a sassy 6 Beaufort (particularly in the east, southeast, and north). By late afternoon, the winds will chill out a bit, settling back to a more laid-back 4 Beaufort. The sea? Oh, it’s putting on a show—rough and choppy in the east and south, and slightly turbulent elsewhere. Temperatures will hover around a cool 20°C inland and in the southern/eastern coastal areas, 21°C along other coasts, and a chilly 10°C up in the mountains. So, pack your jacket (unless you're in the mountains, then maybe a blanket!).

Tonight, it’s a mixed bag. You’ll get some cloud cover at first, but by later, it’ll clear up nicely. Dust levels might still be a little on the high side, but nothing too outrageous. Winds will mellow out, shifting from a northeasterly breeze to a gentler northerly one, blowing lightly at 3-4 Beaufort. The sea’s mood will calm down a little but will remain a tad choppy in the west and north, with a bit of roughness elsewhere. Temperature-wise, expect it to drop to a cozy 7°C inland, 12°C along the southern/eastern coast, and 9°C along other coasts. For those of you up in the mountains, get ready for a brisk 4°C!

As for the weekend forecast—brace yourselves for sunshine! Thursday will be a pretty clear day, while Friday brings a few clouds for variety. Saturday? Back to clear skies.

And don’t worry, temperatures will gradually warm up over the next few days, reaching those delightful, above-average levels. So, pack your sunglasses and maybe a light jacket, because it’s going to be a bumpy but beautiful ride!
