Overnight, cloud cover will increase in the west and north of the island, while skies will remain clear elsewhere.

Temperatures will drop to 18 degrees Celsius inland and on the south, north, and east coasts, 21 degrees Celsius on the west coast, and 12 degrees Celsius in the mountains.

Cloud cover will continue through Friday with the possibility of isolated rain and even the odd isolated storm in the southeast of the island, where strong winds will prevail.

The weather will clear up on Saturday morning, but rain may return in the mountains during the afternoon.

Temperatures are expected to drop significantly on Friday, but then gradually rise over the weekend.
