Weather experts have indicated that a high-pressure system is expected to develop over the south of the country next week, bringing with it a milder airflow that will dominate across the nation.

The upcoming weekend will be breezy, with a mix of sunny intervals and scattered showers. However, the weather pattern is set to shift early next week as the high-pressure system begins to establish itself. This change will result in mostly dry conditions, although some patchy rain and drizzle are anticipated, particularly in the west and north of the country. The east and south are likely to experience relatively dry weather overall.

Winds will generally be moderate, coming from the south to southwest, but stronger breezes are expected along the western coastline.

As Christmas Eve and Christmas Day approach, temperatures will remain mild for the season. Daytime highs are forecast to reach 11 or 12 degrees Celsius, with nighttime lows of 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. While the lack of snow might disappoint some, the milder conditions may provide more comfortable travel and outdoor opportunities during the festive season.
