A seasonal low-pressure system is still holding the remote, which means the island’s forecast comes with its usual mix of clear skies and surprise interruptions.
Today: The morning starts with a haze of low cloud and fog, the kind that makes you wonder if your glasses need cleaning. Things clear up as the day moves along, but by afternoon the mountains and inland areas could see clouds gather their courage and drop a few isolated showers. Winds: southwesterly to northwesterly, generally polite at 3-4 Beaufort, but expect them to flex along the coasts in the afternoon, reaching 4-5 Beaufort. The sea will stay slightly rough; not dramatic, but not exactly swimming-pool smooth either. Temperatures: 37°C inland (a toasty main course), 30°C on the west coast, 32°C along the rest of the shores, and a cooler 27°C in the mountains.
Tonight: Mostly clear skies, though low cloud patches will make appearances in the west and north. As the night deepens, some spots may wake up to light fog by dawn. Winds drift from northwest to northeast, with a southeast twist along the northern coast, light to occasionally moderate at 3-4 Beaufort. Seas calm to slightly rough. Temperatures settle at 20°C inland, 22°C along the coasts, and 19°C higher up.
Saturday & Sunday: Mostly clear overall, but afternoons in the mountains may come with locally increased cloud cover and the odd isolated shower.
Monday: The atmosphere decides to spice things up. From midday onwards, expect isolated showers and the chance of thunderstorms mostly in the mountains, inland, and the east.
Temperatures: A slight dip on Saturday, then holding steady through Monday, hovering close to seasonal averages. In short: warm, but not shocking, unless you’re stuck without shade.
