The warmth doesn’t last long. Wednesday cools to a high of 19°C and a low of 9°C under a mix of sun and cloud, offering what could be the most comfortable weather of the week for outdoor plans.
By Thursday, a much cooler pattern settles in, with temperatures reaching just 13°C beneath cloudy skies. Rain is expected to move in, with winds strengthening overnight. Friday rebounds to 19°C, but wet and windy conditions are forecast to persist throughout the day and into the night, with temperatures dropping to 3°C after dark.
By Saturday, the temperature plunge is complete. The forecast calls for a high of just 9°C and a low of 1°C, with a mix of sun and cloud and a 30 percent chance of rain. That’s a dramatic 16°C drop from Tuesday’s high in just four days, bringing temperatures well below the seasonal norm after the week’s summer-like start.
Sunday offers a modest rebound, with temperatures climbing to 13°C under a mix of sun and clouds.
The week will require a little wardrobe flexibility. Tuesday’s summer-like warmth will feel worlds apart from Saturday’s near-freezing morning, so don’t pack away the jackets just yet. An umbrella may also be useful later in the week, as rain is expected on Thursday and Friday.
Gardeners may want to keep an eye on Saturday’s low of 1°C. It could be cold enough to warrant bringing sensitive plants indoors. While no weather alerts are currently in effect, forecasts can still shift in the days ahead. It’s worth checking for updates before the weekend.
