The day kicks off with a cloudy start, and light rain will likely greet you in the early hours, with temperatures around 12°C (54°F). Expect a total precipitation of 1.3 mm as the day progresses. The humidity will remain high at 99%, which may contribute to a rather chilly feeling even as temperatures rise to a comfortable 18°C (64°F).
Wind conditions will be mild, with a slight breeze coming from the southeast at 2 mph (4 km/h). As the sun rises at 6:03 AM and sets later at 8:31 PM, you can enjoy approximately 11.3 hours of daylight. The UV index is low, making it a good day for outdoor activities, though rain gear is advisable if you plan on being out and about.
On Friday, temperatures are expected to hover between 11°C (52°F) and 15°C (60°F), representing a slight dip from the previous day. The mood will remain damp as light rain showers will persist throughout the morning and early afternoon, accumulating another 2 mm of rainfall. You might also notice the return of fog in the early hours—visibility will drop significantly, with conditions possibly falling as low as 2 miles (3 km) at times.
As we return to the night, temperatures will again cool down to around 11°C (52°F). With a UV index of 0, safe outdoor activities can be enjoyed without much concern for sun exposure.
The weekend will bring slightly better weather as we shift into Saturday. While fog may linger in the early morning, the day will gradually clear up, revealing partly cloudy skies. Expect highs around 17°C (62°F) and lows near 10°C (50°F). There will still be some chance of light rain showers, especially in the afternoon, with total precipitation expected to be around 1.0 mm.
