Coastal areas and islands will also experience significant heat, with highs between 37°C and 42°C, while mountainous regions are forecast to reach between 32°C and 38°C.

Skies will be partly cloudy to cloudy at times, with low clouds forming along the eastern coast. Humid conditions are expected to develop overnight and into Monday morning, particularly along coastal regions, potentially increasing discomfort levels.
