In addition to the heat, winds will predominantly blow from the south-west to the north-west, with speeds reaching up to 4 Beaufort. However, residents can expect stronger gusts in the afternoon, locally reaching between 4 to 5 Beaufort. The sea conditions are forecasted to be slightly rough, which may affect marine activities.
As the day transitions into the evening, the weather will remain mainly clear. However, there is a possibility of light fog, mist, and low clouds forming in some areas during the early morning hours. Overnight temperatures are expected to drop to around 24 degrees Celsius both inland and along the coast, while the mountainous regions will cool down to approximately 21 degrees Celsius. Winds will continue from the south-west to the north-west at speeds of 3 to 4 Beaufort, and the sea is projected to remain slightly rough.
Looking ahead to Thursday, the weather is expected to remain predominantly clear, maintaining the warm conditions. The forecast indicates that Friday and Saturday will also be mainly clear, although there may be increased cloud cover at times. While temperatures on Thursday are not expected to change significantly, a gradual decrease is anticipated for Friday and Saturday, providing some relief from the intense heat.
Residents and visitors are advised to take precautions against the high temperatures, particularly in inland areas, and to stay hydrated throughout the day.
