TODAY
A very hot day across the Island with virtually unbroken sunshine across the board. Perhaps a little cooler on windward coasts in the east and south, and perhaps along the west coast for a time too.
Temperature: 23–25°C in the east and south and along the west coast. 29–32°C across many other parts, but towards central and northwestern areas we could be looking at 33–35°C.
Wind: East 6–12 mph, becoming south to southeast 8–17 mph during the afternoon, then turning more into the southwest towards the evening.
TONIGHT
A warm, dry night across the Island with long clear spells and just a little patchy cloud towards dawn. A few rural mist patches may also develop, especially towards central and northwestern parts of the Island, and this is where it will be coolest.
Temperature: Perhaps dipping to 15–16°C in low-lying rural areas, but generally around 18–20°C, and closer to 22–23°C along the south coast.
Wind: West 4–9 mph, becoming northwest 3–8 mph, but generally variable 2–5 mph inland and away from the coasts.
TOMORROW
Another very hot day across the Island, with temperatures widely into the low to mid 30s. The highest temperatures will be more towards the northeast rather than the northwest, but overall the temperature range will be much the same as Thursday. Once again, there will be almost unbroken sunshine across the Island, with just the odd patch of cloud here and there.
Temperature: 28–30°C in the west and south at first, as well as along the east coast, but as the sea breeze kicks in during the afternoon, temperatures in these areas will drop closer to 22–24°C. Elsewhere, temperatures will reach 32–34°C, so feeling very hot across most areas.
Wind: Northwest 5–11 mph at first, turning west-southwest during the afternoon. This change will begin across western parts of the Island before gradually spreading north and east, with the whole Island seeing west-southwesterly winds by mid to late afternoon at around 10–18 mph.
