The maximum temperature in the country is expected to be between 29-34°C, and the lowest temperature is expected to be between 14-18°C.

In coastal areas, temperature highs will be between 28-33°C, and 21-25°C in the mountainous regions.

According to the NCM, here's what the weather conditions are expected to be like during the weekend over some cities.

Humidity will be moderate at 65-85 per cent in the coastal areas, whereas, in the mountainous regions it is expected to be 55-70 per cent. Relative humidity is expected to increase by night and Saturday morning, especially over coastal and internal areas, causing fog and mist formation.
