The effects of a low pressure system of north African origin will linger on into Monday 23/03. Another, more intense, low pressure system is set to develop over Algeria and migrate east towards Egypt from Tuesday 24/03 till Thursday 26/03. The first three days of this week will be characterised by cloudy skies. Some light rain or drizzle is possible on Monday 23/03. Heavier showers are possible on Tuesday 24/03 and Wednesday 25/03. The wind will blow from an Easterly direction. It will be strong at times, particularly on Wednesday 25/03. This most certainly means abundant airborne fine desert sand. Any rain will deposit this dust. The meteorological situation will change abruptly early on Thursday 26/03, when a low pressure system of European origin developing over Italy migrates towards the central Mediterranean. The wind will turn Northwest and remain strong. This will blow away the airborne fine desert sand. The wind should weaken for the weekend. With the exception of a little light rain or drizzle on Friday 27/03, we will enjoy plenty of bright sunshine at the weekend. A warm 17 C high on Monday will give way to cooler highs of 13 C to 15 C from Tuesday through to Saturday. Warm temperatures return on Sunday. Nighttime lows will range from 9 C to 12 C throughout this week.

Daylight Saving Time begins early on Sunday 29/03. Do not forget to move your clock forward one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night. The sun will rise at 06:52 and set at 19:21 on Sunday, as summer slowly sets in.
