The prolonged heatwave affecting the region is expected to subside in the coming hours, as a period of instability brings scattered thunderstorms and changing weather conditions starting this afternoon and evening.
According to meteorological forecasts, storm activity will initially be sporadic but is likely to intensify over mountainous areas on Saturday. By Sunday, the entire region will be affected, with strong thunderstorms, gusty winds, and possible hail. These unsettled conditions will be interspersed with occasional clear spells, creating a volatile weather pattern that is forecast to continue through Tuesday evening.
The anticipated weather shift follows an exceptionally warm June, which closed with temperatures averaging 2.5 degrees Celsius above seasonal norms. Over the past week, the heat intensified further, reaching levels approximately five degrees above average for this time of year.
