The Department of Meteorology has forecast localised showers and isolated thunderstorms for Monday afternoon, ahead of a projected temperature spike later in the week.
Early morning patchy fog and low cloud cover are expected to clear rapidly on Monday, giving way to partly cloudy skies. However, convective cloud development by midday is anticipated to trigger localised rain and isolated thunderstorms, primarily impacting mountain regions and areas across the central plains.
Winds will initially blow from south to southwest at a light force three Beaufort, shifting progressively to southwest-to-west and strengthening to a light-to-moderate force three to four Beaufort.
The sea will be smooth to slight.
Temperatures are forecast to climb to approximately 34°C inland, 31°C along the southern and eastern coasts, 28°C on the western and northern shores, and 24°C in the higher mountain peaks.
By Monday night, conditions will clear across most areas, though transient low cloud cover will develop periodically along coastal strips.
Patchy fog is expected to reform locally during the early hours of Tuesday morning. Overnight winds will shift northwest to northeast, weakening to a light force three Beaufort, whilst the sea will remain calm to relatively smooth.
A stable, warmer air mass is projected to settle over the island from Tuesday through Thursday, bringing predominantly clear skies.
Temperatures will undergo a gradual increase over the three-day period, climbing above the seasonal averages.
