They may bring isolated showers and even thunderstorms. The highest probability of such phenomena is in mountainous areas and the southern part of the island.
The temperature will not change significantly and will still be slightly higher than the climatic average for this time of year.
Hail is also possible on Thursday
Cloud cover will increase periodically on Thursday. Localized rainfall and isolated thunderstorms are forecast for the afternoon, primarily in the mountains and inland.
Hail may fall during the storm.
Isolated showers are also possible on Thursday evening, especially in the western part of the island. Another storm cannot be ruled out along the coast.
The temperature will gradually start to drop.
Friday will be colder than usual
Friday will see periodically cloudy weather. Localized rainfall and isolated thunderstorms are expected, primarily in the mountains and inland.
Temperatures will drop even further and are expected to be below average for this part of September.
The forecasted phenomena will be localized. This does not mean that rain or storms will occur simultaneously in all regions of the island.
