A seasonal low-pressure system is hanging around, and starting Monday, it plans to spice things up with some instability. Until then, we mostly get sunshine with occasional interruptions.
Today (Saturday): After some early morning fog and clingy low clouds burn off, the sky clears over most of the island. By midday, the mountains (and maybe some inland spots) could get a cameo from clouds bringing isolated showers. Winds start from the southeast to southwest, light at 3 Beaufort, then switch to the southwest-northwest combo, picking up to 3-4 Beaufort. By afternoon along the coasts, they mean business: 4-5 Beaufort, strong enough to remind you why flip-flops aren’t ideal for chasing runaway hats. Seas: calm to slightly rough in the east, slightly rough elsewhere. Temperatures: 35°C inland, 30°C in the west and southwest, 31°C along the other coasts, and 27°C in the higher mountains.
Tonight: Skies stay mostly clear, though some low clouds will drift in locally. Later in the night and toward dawn, fog or light mist is likely in spots. Winds ease to northwesterly-northeasterly, with a southeasterly twist along the northern coast, light at 3 Beaufort. Seas calm to slightly rough. Temperatures settle at 20°C inland, 22°C along the coasts, and 19°C up in the mountains.
Sunday: A rinse-and-repeat version of today, but with slightly more confidence from the atmosphere. Clear overall, but in the afternoon the mountains and some inland areas can expect isolated showers and there’s a chance of a short, isolated thunderstorm.
Monday & Tuesday: The weather presses the “unstable” button. Expect more clouds from midday onward, with isolated showers and thunderstorms, especially over the mountains, inland, and possibly in the east. Basically, keep your rain plan B handy.
Temperatures: No major drama, hovering close to seasonal averages through Tuesday.
