The Meteorology Department has issued its extended forecast for the week of September 14-20, 2024, indicating that the region will continue to experience hot and humid weather conditions. This prolonged spell of warm weather is attributed to a persistent low pressure system that is expected to influence the area throughout the coming days.
According to the forecast, the week will begin with clear skies and only slight cloudiness on September 14 and 15. As we move into the middle of the week, there will be a gradual increase in cloud cover. September 16 and 17 are expected to start slightly cloudy, with conditions becoming partly cloudy as the days progress. September 18 will see a mix of partly cloudy and slightly cloudy skies, while September 19 is forecasted to return to clearer conditions with only minimal cloud cover. The week will conclude on September 20 with initially slight cloudiness, potentially increasing to partly cloudy skies later in the day.
In the first few days of the forecast period, inland areas are likely to experience the highest temperatures, with highs ranging between 34-37°C. As the week progresses, both inland and coastal regions are expected to see slightly cooler temperatures, with highs hovering around 30-33°C.
Wind conditions throughout the week are predicted to be predominantly from the South and West. While the wind strength will generally be moderate, with occasional strong gusts and some stormy conditions at times.
