Post-noon, expect cloud cover to break up with peaks of sunshine and a UV index of 11, same as Saturday, suggesting outdoor enthusiasts pay extra attention to sun safety. Winds will remain mild, under 5 km/h, making for a calm atmosphere, but with ominous scattered clouds indicating possible light rain, with a 100% chance appearing in the late afternoon and evening.
