A high pressure system accompanied by a persistent thin layer of PM10 particles of dust, the smallest and most hazardous, is causing concern for people suffering from long term respiratory issues as well as children and the elderly, with the phenomenon not expected to subside before Monday.
This late October setting is set to turn on its head early next week as Tuesday will see a low pressure system piling storms and thunder across the country.
Let’s take a look at the weekend forecast in detail.
Sunny skies, with northwesterly no northeasterly winds turning light to moderate westerly to southwesterly in the afternoon, force three to four, turning strong force four to five in southwestern regions, over calm to slight seas.
