The NCM said humidity levels are expected to rise during the night and into Monday morning over some western coastal areas, with a possibility of mist formation.
Light to moderate winds are forecast, becoming fresh at times in some areas.

Outlook for the coming days
The NCM expects fair to partly cloudy conditions through next week, with a chance of convective cloud formation over eastern and southern areas during the afternoon, which may bring rainfall.
