With high temperatures, crowded beaches, and busy roads, the three-day Holy Spirit weekend is culminating. On the day of the holiday, the mercury is expected to reach 37 to 39 degrees Celsius in several areas, giving the perfect excuse for one last dip before the big return.

The warm weather will persist over the next few days, with temperatures dropping slightly towards the end of the week, according to the EMF forecast.
