By Monday night, cloud cover is anticipated to increase gradually over coastal areas and islands, leading to a more volatile weather pattern by mid-week.
Tuesday and Wednesday are likely to feature partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with blowing dust, alongside a chance of rainfall in various regions, especially in the west and east.
