Yes, it got pretty hot yesterday. And once again today we're expecting a similarly clear, sunny and hot day with temperatures reaching around 28C in town. Expect around 20 degrees even around Mitsumata base and double digits up top too.

Could tomorrow be the day when this long period of sun and hot breaks? Maybe, but later in the day as currently sun is once again due during the daytime. Rain forecast to continue into Tuesday morning with clearer conditions again on Wednesday.
