A good Friday it will be - mostly clear skies, very warm in areas and also very fresh; daytime humidity levels are generally forecast to be very low.

Pretty windy, especially in the morning, and even though the breezes are southerly, they do have a bit of chill to them.

The wind is expected to pick up again by the evening, when cloudier skies are forecast ahead of a Saturday with possible showers, thunderstorms and lower temperatures. Easter Sunday continues to look as if it will be rather grey with some rain and that wind still blowing.
