A seasonal low-pressure system has made itself at home in the region, like a roommate who contributes nothing but still eats your snacks.
Yellow alert: The Meteorology Department has issued a yellow warning for extreme maximum temperatures on Thursday. Expect highs around 40°C inland and 32°C in the higher mountains. The warning is in effect from 12 noon until 5 p.m. So yes, right during the hours you were planning to “just pop out for a bit.”
Today: Skies will mostly be clear, though in the early afternoon, clouds will gather over the mountains. Think of them as nature’s attempt at adding some plot twists. Winds will start off indecisive (3 Beaufort, barely worth a mention) before settling on a southwesterly-to-northwesterly theme, light to moderate (3-4 Beaufort, not umbrella-snatching but not exactly polite either). The sea will hover between calm and slightly rough, depending on its mood. Temperatures will crank up to 40°C inland, essentially oven mode, around 34°C along the southeast, south, and north coasts, and about 32°C elsewhere, including the higher mountains, where you’ll still be sweating but with better views.
Tonight: Mostly clear again, with a few low clouds and maybe some fog sneaking onto the southern and eastern coasts before sunrise. Winds will shift to northwesterly-to-northeasterly (and occasionally just “wherever they feel like”), light at 3 Beaufort. The sea will stay a bit restless in the west but calmer elsewhere. Temperatures will cool to 22°C inland, about 24°C on the coasts, and 21°C in the higher mountains; refreshing only if you’ve forgotten what cool air feels like.
Friday through Sunday: The skies remain locked on “mostly clear.” If you were hoping for drama, the weather refuses to provide it.
Temperatures will creep upward through Saturday, just enough to remind you who’s boss, before holding steady on Sunday, still above seasonal averages, because summer enjoys being extra.
