The Department of Meteorology reports that a weak high-pressure system and a warm air mass are affecting the region. Skies will be mostly clear throughout the day, though passing high clouds may appear at intervals.
Winds will blow south-westerly to north-westerly, light to moderate (3–4 Beaufort), becoming locally strong (4–5 Beaufort) in the afternoon, especially along the southwestern coast. The sea will be calm to slightly rough, with a few choppier spots later in the day.
Today’s highs:
– 35°C inland
– 27°C west coast

Looking ahead: Friday through Sunday will stay mostly clear, with occasional high clouds. Dust is expected to enter the atmosphere from Sunday onward, and temperatures will rise even further—well above seasonal averages.
