The minimum dropped to 19.5 degree C On Tuesday, from a high of 23 degrees C on monday, which was four degrees above normal.

yesterday, there was a further drop to 17.6 degree C.

While, the thundry squall on sunday evening contributed to the pleasantness in the weather on Monday, a fresh wave of Northerly winds brought about a drop in mercury on tuesday and yesterday.
