Conditions should become drier from Friday, with partly cloudy or mostly clear skies for the remainder of the forecast period.

Daytime temperatures inland are expected to reach 25–28°C initially before falling to 21–24°C. Coastal highs will range from 24–27°C in the early part of the period, dropping to 20–23°C, while mountain temperatures will fall from 20–23°C to 16–19°C.

Nights will also turn cooler. Inland overnight lows are forecast to fall from 13–16°C to 9–12°C, while coastal minimums will drop from 16–19°C to 12–15°C. In the mountains, overnight temperatures will decline from 14–17°C to 10–13°C.

Winds will generally blow from the north at moderate strength, becoming locally strong on rainy days.
