Alright folks, let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks. We’re in for a long, settled spell of fabulous late-summer weather, with only a few hiccups way down the line. It’s going to be mainly dry, often clear, and turning quite warm at times, especially through the middle of the period.

We start off this Wednesday afternoon with a clear sky and a light westerly breeze, around 20 km/h, and a high of 24°. That clears into a cool night, dropping to 13°, with a light wind from the west. Thursday stays fine: a clear morning, then a sunny afternoon reaching 24°, and Thursday night sees just some clouds drifting in from the north-northeast. Friday is another beauty – a clear morning and a brilliant afternoon, with the mercury climbing to 26°. The weekend looks even better. Saturday starts clear, then turns partly cloudy in the afternoon as we hit 28°, before a clear night. Sunday is the standout so far: a cloudless morning, then a scorching afternoon with a high of 33°, and a light southerly breeze. That’s the hottest day of the whole outlook, folks. Monday keeps the heat coming with a clear afternoon high of 33°, and that warmth lingers into Tuesday with 26°.

Now, as we move into the second week, the pattern holds steady. Wednesday the 12th of August brings a mix of sun and clouds, and we’re back up to 31° in the afternoon. Thursday the 13th is another cracker – a clear afternoon, and the highest temperature of the entire forecast at 34°. Friday the 14th stays clear and hot, with 32°. Then, on Saturday the 15th, we see our first real change: a few morning clouds, followed by some rain showers in the afternoon, with a high of 29°. That’s the only significant rainfall we see in the entire outlook, but no totals are given, so we’ll call it a light shower. Sunday the 16th clears up again, with a high of 26°.

Heading into the third week, confidence drops a notch, but we can still see the pattern. Monday the 17th of August is partly cloudy, warm at 29°. Then Tuesday the 18th brings a more unsettled feel: morning rain showers, with a brisk southwesterly wind gusting to 20 km/h, and a cooler high of 22°. That rain showers theme continues into the afternoon, before clearing Tuesday night. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th look mostly clear, but cooler, with highs around 21° to 22°, and Thursday night brings another round of rain showers, with a strong south-southwesterly wind at 20 km/h. The coldest night of the entire outlook comes on Tuesday the 18th, dropping to 15°, and the wind chill makes it feel like 14°.

So, to sum it up: a long, hot, and mostly dry first week, with the warmest day on Thursday the 13th at 34°, and the coolest night on Tuesday the 18th at 15°. A few showers sneak in around the 15th and again on the 18th and 20th, but nothing heavy. Enjoy it while it lasts!
