As we look ahead, the rest of the week promises to remain warm and humid. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:

Wednesday: The weather will start warm and humid, with sunny spells in the morning. However, showers and possible thunderstorms may develop in the afternoon, bringing temperatures between 21C to 25C.

Thursday: A mix of scattered showers will begin the day, but a shift to longer periods of sunshine is anticipated in the afternoon, with temperatures again reaching 21C to 25C.

Friday: The forecast suggests sunny spells with light showers that will ease through the day, allowing for extended sunshine later. Expect temperatures to be similar, ranging from 21C to 25C.

The weekend outlook indicates a continuation of warm conditions with temperatures generally in the low to mid-twenties, accompanied by light easterly breezes. Despite the pleasant weather, some showers may still occur.
