       The update said that the lowest temperature during the next three days will be between 21-23°C — with Tuesday experiencing the lowest amount of humidity at 60 per cent in the morning and between 20 to 30pc in the evening.

       The forecast said that the humidity was likely to increase over the next two days, reaching around 80pc on Thursday, adding that the wind direction would be mostly west and southwesterly.
