Due to a maritime airstream, the warmer weather is also expected to be humid and foggy, with a few patches of rain in the morning and at night. Humidity levels are expected to reach 85 to 100 per cent.
Saturday will see similar weather, with a maximum temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.
But temperatures will go down on Sunday because of an intense northeast monsoon bringing in a cold front. It will remain cold early in the week, according to the Observatory.
Monday’s lowest temperature is estimated to be 11 degrees, further dropping to a minimum temperature of 10 degrees Celsius on Tuesday.
