The atmosphere is beginning to shift, with a low-pressure system slowly edging into the region and bringing with it a familiar companion: dust. At times, concentrations may be noticeable, giving the sky a muted, hazy look and softening the sunshine.
Today features intervals of medium and high cloud, with a warm feel across the island. Winds blow mainly from the northeast to east at a gentle to moderate 3 to 4 Beaufort, though they may pick up to a stronger 5 Beaufort along windward coasts. The sea reflects this changeable mood, turning slightly rough and locally rough.
Temperatures remain on the high side, reaching around 27°C inland, about 26°C along the coasts, and a comfortable 23°C in the higher mountains.
Tonight, cloud cover becomes more widespread, maintaining that hazy, overcast feel. Winds continue from the northeast to east, occasionally strengthening along the coast, while the sea grows rougher in places.
By Friday, the clouds begin to carry more weight, with local showers expected and even the chance of a thunderstorm making a brief appearance.
Saturday continues in a similar vein, with partly cloudy skies and scattered showers, along with isolated thunderstorms adding a touch of unpredictability.
On Sunday, the focus shifts inland and to the mountains, where isolated showers and storms are most likely to develop after midday.
Temperatures take a noticeable dip by Saturday and hold there into Sunday, settling slightly below what’s typical for the season, a clear signal that the brief warm spell is easing off.
