🌤️ This Week's Weather at a Glance
MON: 20°C 📈 | 11°C 📉 (🌧️ Mainly cloudy, 40% chance of showers in the morning)
TUE: 21°C 📈 | 12°C 📉 (⛅ Mix of sun and cloud)
WED: 20°C 📈 | 14°C 📉 (⛅ Mix of sun and cloud)
THU: 21°C 📈 | 12°C 📉 (🌧️ Cloudy, 30% chance of showers)
FRI: 18°C 📈 | 8°C 📉 (☁️ Cloudy)
SAT: 16°C 📈 | 9°C 📉 (⛅ Mix of sun and cloud)
SUN: 17°C 📈 | 9°C 📉 (⛅ Mix of sun and cloud during the day, 60% chance of rain overnight)
The TL;DR: A noticeably cooler week than last, with Monday's morning showers the only real wet start. Tuesday and Wednesday are your best bets for anything outdoors. Friday's cloudy skies won't stop the Mystic Fair's opening evening, and Saturday's mix of sun and cloud is workable for both the Farm to Fork Tour and the Fair's second day. Sunday carries an overnight rain risk, so get to the last Farmers' Market of the season in the morning before any weather moves in.
