Reason behind unsettled weather

The unstable weather conditions are due to seasonal transitions between autumn and winter, as the likelihood of cloud formation increases over western and coastal areas. Light rainfall accompanied by occasional fresh winds will also be possible.

This is expected to help moderate temperatures and bring relative stability to weather conditions across most parts of the country.

What to expect

According to the forecast, Monday morning will be humid over some coastal and inland areas, with partly cloudy skies and low clouds—especially over coastal areas and islands—possibly bringing light rain.
