Wind Conditions:
A gentle breeze from the northwest at 6 km/h (4 mph) will pick up later in the day, with possible gusts reaching 28 km/h (17 mph) around the time the heaviest rains are expected. This wind could make it feel colder than the temperature suggests, so layering up is advisable.
Evening and Night:
Conditions will remain damp, with light drizzle continuing into the night. Expect temperatures to stabilize around 15°C (60°F) during the evening, making for a cool, wet night. Visibility could drop significantly during rainfall; expect mist and light rain to reduce clarity, especially after dark.
