Overview
- Friday brings another springlike day near 18°C, though sunshine appears hazier due to high-altitude dust and thin cloud.
- The dust plume is thickest on Friday and lingers through the weekend, with little to no surface deposition expected because rain is not forecast.
- Multiple locales set daily records earlier this week and on Thursday, with highs broadly around 16–18°C through the weekend and cooler readings at the coast with a sea breeze.
- Meteorologists note model uncertainty over dust effects on temperatures, with some guidance pointing to a few degrees lower on Saturday and a gradual ease to ~14°C by early next week as a slight shower chance returns.
- Nights stay relatively cool—generally 2–8°C—while sensitive airways may notice mild irritation and photographers can expect red-orange sunrises and sunsets under a milky sky.
