Monday 6th May 2024

Rise and shine! It’s a cool start at 9°C with a mix of clouds and sun, warming up to 12°C by mid-morning. Perfect for grabbing a warm cup of coffee on your way out!

This evening, temps will hover around a comfy 17°C with the sun playing peek-a-boo behind the clouds. A light jacket should do the trick if you're heading out.

As night falls, temps dip to 15°C by 9 PM and further to a chillier 13°C towards midnight. Grab that umbrella if you’re night-owling, as there’s a chance of some drizzle around 10 PM and 11 PM.
