However, locally increasing clouds in the afternoon and evening may bring isolated showers in the mountains and possibly inland areas. The winds will initially blow mainly northeast to southeast, light at 3 Beaufort, and gradually become sea breezes, light to moderate at 3 to 4 Beaufort. The sea conditions will be calm to a little rough. Temperatures are expected to rise to around 28 degrees inland, around 24 degrees in the southeast and east coast, around 23 degrees on the rest of the coast, and around 17 degrees in the higher mountains.

It will be mainly cloudy on Friday with medium to high clouds, which are expected to produce isolated light showers, mainly in the mountains. The atmosphere may be sparsely dusty at times.

Temperatures will gradually rise through Thursday, falling slightly on Friday, and are expected to be above average for the climate. Stay updated with the latest weather news and take necessary precautions to stay safe and comfortable in the changing weather conditions.
