No weather warnings have been issued for this day. Similarly, on August 4, the maximum and minimum temperatures are forecasted to remain at 32 and 24 degrees Celsius, respectively. However, a yellow alert has been issued for this day, with light to moderate rain expected in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
