Wednesday, August 28, 2024

The day kicks off with a sunrise at 6:42 AM and will see its last rays of sunlight at 7:51 PM. With a high anticipated at 35°C (95°F) and a low of 19°C (67°F), expect a hot and sunny day, perfect for enjoying outdoor activities. The UV index will be high, peaking at 9, so remember to apply some sunscreen if you plan to be outside!

Expect a noticeable shift in conditions. The temperature will decrease slightly, with a maximum of 32°C (90°F), while the minimum temperature will hover around 17°C (63°F). The sun will rise at 6:43 AM and set earlier at 7:49 PM.

Rain will be prevalent throughout the morning and early afternoon, starting off with patchy rain nearby in the early hours and transitioning into more consistent rain as the day progresses. Up to 3.4 mm of rain is expected, making it a good day to stay indoors or carry an umbrella for those needed errands.

Wind speeds will increase, reaching around 7 mph (11 km/h) from the southeast, which should help clear some of that moisture as we transition into the evening.
