Overview
- Forecasters say today will be mild and mostly dry with highs around 24–26°C and light winds.
- Saturday is expected to be the warmest day of the immediate period with sunshine and temperatures near 26–28°C.
- Sunday will turn markedly cooler with buiige showers and a few millimetres of rain in places that will locally break the month‑long dry spell.
- Models predict a wind shift to the southwest and south from Tuesday that should drive temperatures into the high 20s by Wednesday and toward 30°C by Thursday, creating the possibility of a second hittegolf if three consecutive days of ≥30°C occur.
- The weather change matters for farmers, water supply and outdoor events, and meteorologists say confidence will rise with new model runs early next week before any official heatwave is declared.
