A mix of sunny and cloudy spells for Wednesday, with thunderstorms possible in eastern areas. There are no weather alerts. Northern and western areas are expected to see the best of the sun.

Despite the alerts for heavy rain on Tuesday (interior, south and east), there wasn't much. A deluge in the Santanyi area brought the most rainfall but this didn't equate to a yellow alert.

Note that the UV Index is expected to rise to 6 or 7 on Wednesday; it has been 4 or 5. This isn't forecast to remain the same for the rest of the week; it will drop.

The current outlook until the weekend is for some risk of rain but a reasonable amount of sun; temperatures perhaps nudging 20C in areas.
