Cloudy skies continue this morning with a moderate breeze

A cloudy and cool morning with a light northerly breeze.

High pressure to the northeast continues to keep the cool and dry regime around with a moderate breeze. However, the warm sector of an approaching front will cause winds to veer southerly and strengthen allowing temperatures to rebound slightly. A cold front then moves through the area on Friday with increasing cloud cover and a few showers. Settled weather returns into the weekend.



High near 22°C/71°F.

Humidity a beautiful 58% at the moment, but that’ll all change when the winds switch south, so get out there and breathe the fresh air while you can.

Would you believe the wind is coming back? Sigh…. And more rain late tonight.

A low moving to our north will soon drag a warm front near us, then winds rapidly become strong and gusty today ahead of a cold front due to cross later tonight. Lingering cloud will thin to allow more sunshine over the weekend, though it will feel cooler with lower humidity. OK… We’ll take that.
