Some Sunshine Before The Weekend: Then It’s Back To Rain

Jan 15 2024

According to local weather forecasts, the weather is expected to take a turn for the sunny during this week’s mid-point, before turning back to wind and isolated showers.

Tuesday 16th January is expected to bring more rain and wind before we get a brief respite on Thursday with overall sunny weather.

However, as if the skies don’t want us going out on picnics to chill off from a week from work, the weekend is expected to bring back the wind and isolated rain showers.

According to Facebook page It-Temp Madwarna, the weather is expected to get warmer, with other forecasts corroborating this with temperature predictions feeling around 21 degrees Celsius by Thursday.

This will however cool down as the weekend draws nearer, with low temperatures of 11 degrees Celsius.

What do you make of this weather?
