Frost is no longer expected from Wednesday, temperatures in the second half of the week will be mostly in the range +8 C to + 13 C, and the weekend could be warmer still. At night, frost is no longer expected though rain will fall from time to time,

Southwesterly winds will become stronger from Wednesday, with gusts of 15 to 18 meters per second along the coast.
