The weather will be slightly better this week, at least overall. A ridge of high pressure will develop across the central Mediterranean at the start of the week, bringing a general improvement in weather conditions, at least on weekdays. The weather from Monday 21/3 through to Friday 25/3 will feature mainly sunny or partly cloudy skies. Residual light rain may still occur on Monday and Tuesday, however. Weekdays will be characterized by a light, and mainly easterly, wind. The weekend, which will also be the final weekend of March, may be marred by yet another north African low pressure system. A low pressure system will form over Tunisia, potentially bringing a second weekend of Sahara Desert weather. As things stand, Saturday 26/3 may see some light rain and a strong East Southeast wind. This strong wind could linger into Sunday 27/3. This would be accompanied by airborne fine desert sand too. Temperatures will experience an upward trend as the week progresses. Daytime highs will rise from an unseasonal 13°C to a more comfortable 19°C. Weeknights will be cold, with minimum temperatures likely to be below 10°C. Nights become warmer by the weekend, with values hovering around 12°C.

Daylight Saving Time begins early on Sunday 27/3. Do not forget to move your clock forward one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night. The sun rises at 06:55 and sets at 19:19 on Sunday 27/3, as summer slowly sets in.
