The pattern remains unsettled through the next few days. Showers will be most frequent over higher ground and along the north coast, while the south coast and the Roseland Peninsula may stay drier for longer. If you’re checking the 10-day forecast, expect a gradual return to more settled conditions by the weekend, though a brisk westerly wind will persist.
