Today's weather remains clear to partly cloudy, but cold temperatures dominate. This morning, most areas reported temperatures between 6°C and 9°C, with a high of only around 10°C expected. Wind chill is significant, making it feel even colder—especially after dark. Stay warm if you're heading out.

Humidity levels will range from 75% to 25%, indicating dry conditions and a high risk of fire, so be cautious with open flames or heat sources.

Temperature Outlook:

The cold wave will peak tomorrow morning, with the urban low around 4°C and suburban areas dropping to -2°C to 1°C, possibly forming light frost or thin ice. Daytime temperatures will remain low due to the dominating cold air mass, with highs reaching only about 11°C.

Starting Friday, the cold air's grip will ease slightly, and temperatures will gradually rebound. This weekend, a more noticeable warming trend will take place, with highs approaching 20°C. However, dramatic shifts between warm and cold will continue this week, so be sure to dress accordingly.

Next week may bring another mild cold front early on, though it won't be as strong. By midweek, an increase in moist, warm air could lead to more cloud cover and light rain, slightly easing the ongoing dry spell.
