Cooler temperatures of 19-25°C, rain expected for rest of August after hot stretch
After the hot stretch in the first half of August, daytime highs will drop to about 19 degrees Celsius in the northwest and a maximum of 24 or 25 degrees Celsius in the southeast through the rest of the month. Occasional rain or showers are also expected, according to Weeronline.
A northwesterly to westerly wind will dominate, drawing in less warm air. Daytime temperatures are forecast to reach about 19 degrees Celsius in the northwest and a maximum of 24 or 25 degrees in the southeast.
Occasional rain or showers are expected. The precipitation will be welcome for nature after the precipitation deficit climbed near 300 millimeters, though the drought will not be resolved quickly. Coastal areas will see periods of stronger wind at times.
Changeable weather is likely to continue or increase during the final week of August, with multiple showers possible. The closing phase of the month may turn out wetter than normal. Temperatures in that period are expected to stay in the usual range of 20 to 24 degrees.
Early September should bring a decrease in the number of showers, with dry periods becoming more frequent. Winds are expected to ease and sunshine to increase. Daytime temperatures are not forecast to deviate much from the normal average of 19 or 20 degrees, levels at which outdoor activity without a jacket remains comfortable. Shorter days will cause evenings to cool more quickly.
Later in September, the chance of warmer-than-normal temperatures rises. Weather models indicate a strong likelihood of above-average readings, raising the possibility of warm late-summer weather. How high temperatures will climb remains uncertain, but inland areas could see several days reaching 25 degrees.
Nights will grow longer and cooler as the month progresses. Under calm conditions, especially after daytime rain followed by a cold, clear, and still night, mist or fog can form readily and linger into the morning, increasing the chance of reduced visibility that affects traffic.
