Long dry spells will develop, but heavy thundery rain will begin to move into the southeast later this evening.

Highest temperatures will range from 14 to 20 degrees Celsius, mildest in the west and northwest where some brighter spells will develop.

Lowest temperatures will range from nine to 12 degrees Celsius.
