Furthermore, it remains cool with a clear and rainy season, which occurs most often in the north and west, while the southeast areas it has the potential to be a little drier and more settled for a while, although the rains approaching the west into the weekend may sweep to the east followed by fresher conditions, and could be preceded by thunderstorms.
