Sunny side up: Clouds may visit, but warmth stays put

High pressure holds sway, bringing mostly clear skies and above-average temperatures.

Newsroom

A weak high-pressure system is holding court over the area, keeping things mostly pleasant.

Today: Expect mostly clear skies with the occasional cloud making a cameo. Winds will swirl from southwest to northwest, gentle to moderate at 3-4 Beaufort, but watch out in the afternoon on the windward side. They might crank up to a brisk 5 Beaufort. The sea will be slightly rough, and temperatures will flirt with spring-like comfort: around 19°C inland, 21°C along the coasts, and a chilly-but-manageable 9°C in the higher mountains.

Tonight: Skies stay mostly clear, though some clouds may wander in locally. Winds ease to 3-4 Beaufort from the northwest, and the sea calms to slightly rough. It's a good night for a peaceful stroll or stargazing.

Friday through the Weekend: Mostly clear skies continue, with clouds making the occasional appearance. Sunday may bring a surprise shower or two, mainly in the mountains, so keep a raincoat handy if you’re heading uphill. Temperatures remain steady, comfortably above average for this time of year.
