The NCM said temperatures are expected to gradually rise, while humid conditions will develop overnight and into Sunday morning across some coastal areas, with a possibility of light fog

The weather pattern comes as the country remains under the influence of an extension of a surface low-pressure system from the east, accompanied by an extension of an upper-air low-pressure system
