Good morning to everyone who heroically got out of bed today despite the gravitational pull of the weekend. If you're already on your fifth cup of coffee and still contemplating a nap, you're not alone, and you're definitely not imagining that sluggish vibe in the air. It's not just you. It's also the weather.
Stay caffeinated, stay dry(ish), and remember: clouds don’t pay rent, but they sure know how to make an entrance.
A weak low-pressure system is lurking around the region, which feels very on-brand for a Monday. Oh, and there’s fine dust suspended in the atmosphere, just to keep things spicy. Dust concentrations may spike on Tuesday, so keep those tissues (and allergy meds) handy if you're the sensitive type.
Here’s how your Monday’s shaping up:
- Expect mainly clear skies to start, just like your intentions at 7 a.m., only for the clouds to roll in gradually by the afternoon (again, very Monday energy).
- Winds will blow from the southwest to northwest at a weak to moderate 3 to 4 Beaufort, not enough to knock over your umbrella, but just enough to mess up your hair.
- The sea will be slightly rough, much like everyone’s mood in traffic this morning.
- Temperatures will peak at 25°C inland, 21°C on the west coast, 23°C elsewhere on the coast, and a crisp 14°C in the higher mountains (perfect for those considering a dramatic escape to the hills).
Tonight:
Clouds continue to hang around like that one email you’ve been avoiding. Expect medium and high cloud cover, light winds from the northwest to northeast, and temperatures dropping to 13°C inland and on the coast, with a chillier 8°C in the mountains. Ideal weather for staying in and pretending tomorrow isn’t a workday.
Looking ahead:
- Tuesday starts off cloudy with some light, local rain possible, and more of that delightful dust in the air. But things will gradually clear up.
- Wednesday brings some afternoon drama in the form of isolated showers or a possible storm, mainly inland and in the mountains. Grab your umbrella… or use it as a fashion statement.
- Thursday kicks off with locally increased clouds and maybe a bit of rain in the northwest, but the skies will gradually clear, just like your to-do list (hopefully).
Temps will hold steady Tuesday but drop noticeably by Thursday, landing near the average for this time of year, because apparently, even the weather is trying to reset.
Stay caffeinated, stay dry(ish), and remember: clouds don’t pay rent, but they sure know how to make an entrance.
