Sunday will be the warmest day of the weekend with highs of 25 degrees. It will also be extremely humid.
The moist southwesterly airflow will see the weather break on Sunday night into Monday morning, with thunderstorms possible. Monday will have similar weather, with humid air and heavy showers dominating.
The long-term forecast is for more of the same with low pressure dominating into next week. With just two weeks remaining, there is still little sign of summer.
