Wednesday will be another dry and mostly fine day with plenty of sunshine and just patchy cloud.

Maximum temperatures ranging 18 to 24 degrees in mostly moderate northeast winds. Slightly cooler along windward coasts.

Any mist patches will clear quickly on Thursday morning to leave a dry day with lots of sunshine.

Highest temperatures will generally range between 19 and 24 degrees, again slightly cooler in some coastal areas due to onshore breezes.

The current fine spell is set to continue over the June Holiday Weekend and right through the first week in June 🌞🌡️
