It’s Going to be Hot Up to 35 °C with Some Rain For The Next 2 Weeks

The Break Down

We have 14 more days till the end of the month, where we will bring you another report about how things didn’t change or have gotten worse.

After all, we’re hurtling into the heart of summer right now, what do you expect?

Of these 14 days, 6 to 8 days will have thundery showers “between late morning and early afternoon”.

Which is good news because it’ll rain when we’re in the office, and not when we’re on the way to work.

Another 2 to 3 days happening within the next week will have “gusty winds” added into the thundery showers mix, occurring “between predawn and morning”.

That’s no goody, because we might be on the way to work. Hopefully that’ll happen during the weekends.

So all in all, that’s a good 8 to 11 days predicted to rain out of our fortnight, but remember,  it’s not raining for the entire day so get ready to embrace the heat right after.

Temperatures on days that rain can still reach 34°C, with an expected minimum of 26°C.

That’s hot already, but on drier days it gets worse with maximum temperatures potentially climbing to 35°C.

That’s enough to melt kittens, but anyways.
