Starting Sunday, partly cloudy skies will give way to local rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon, mainly in the east. Temperatures will remain mostly steady initially.
On Monday, the weather will be partly cloudy with a slight temperature drop, particularly in the mountains and inland areas, bringing relief from the summer heat. Local rain is still expected around midday, mainly in eastern parts. By Tuesday and Wednesday, conditions will stabilize with partly cloudy to clear skies. Tuesday's temperatures will return to seasonal norms without significant rainfall, while Wednesday will see a slight temperature increase after morning clouds clear, resulting in pleasant weather.
