Friday 17th May 2024

We're starting the day off cool and cloudy at 12°C. By 9 AM, expect it to warm up slightly to 13°C with minimal rain. The clouds stick around, but the chance of rain remains low, making it a good time for morning errands.

The clouds persist into the afternoon, with temperatures gradually rising to 19°C by 4 PM. There's a very slim chance of rain, so it's a perfect time to enjoy some outdoor activities.

In the evening, temperatures will hold steady at 19°C until about 6 PM. There's a small chance of rain from 7 PM onwards, but it shouldn't be too disruptive. As night falls, temperatures will drop to around 14°C by 11 PM, with the clouds still lingering.
