Predominantly, rainfall is expected in the north and west, while southeastern areas may experience drier conditions, albeit not entirely devoid of rain. As we move into the second week of December, indications point towards more stable weather patterns emerging across the country, particularly in the south and southwest.
This could usher in a phase of predominantly dry weather in these regions, likely accompanied by overnight frost and fog. Any instances of rain and wind during this time are more likely to impact the northern areas.
Temperatures are anticipated to fluctuate around the average for December, encompassing both milder and colder days.
