November? Apparently nobody told the weather. Temperatures are climbing to a rather respectable 25°C along parts of the coast, while most of the island can expect plenty of sunshine. The clouds might occasionally interrupt the show, but they're hardly the main attraction.
WEATHER BULLETIN
A weak high-pressure system is affecting the area, keeping conditions generally settled. Nothing particularly dramatic, which is always nice. We could all do with a quiet day.
Today, skies will be mainly clear across most of the island, although locally increased cloud cover will make occasional appearances. Winds will blow mainly north-easterly to south-easterly, generally light and occasionally moderate at 3 to 4 Beaufort. The sea will remain calm to slightly rough.
Temperatures will reach 24°C inland and along the western and northern coasts, climbing to around 25°C along the remaining coastal areas. The higher mountains will be cooler at 16°C. So, yes, November is apparently offering beach-friendly temperatures. Make the most of it before someone remembers what month it is.
Tonight, skies will remain mostly clear, although locally increased low cloud is expected at times, particularly along the coasts and later inland. During the early morning hours, patchy mist or fog may develop, especially inland and in eastern areas. Winds will become downslope and light at 3 Beaufort, while the sea will remain calm to slightly rough.
Looking ahead, Saturday will bring occasional increased cloud cover, with isolated light showers not ruled out during the evening. Sunday and Monday will also see periods of increased cloudiness. Monday could bring isolated showers, mainly after midday. So, the weekend isn't entirely guaranteed to be a sunshine festival.
Temperatures on Saturday will remain largely unchanged and above seasonal averages. A slight dip is expected on Sunday, followed by little change on Monday, with temperatures staying slightly above the average climatic values for this time of year.
In short, enjoy the sunshine, appreciate the warmth and perhaps don't pack away the sunglasses just yet. November clearly hasn't finished showing off.
