Southern State's Weather Woes

Meanwhile, around 1,000 households in the southern state also experienced power outages after the capital city recorded its wettest day in 18 months.

Weather Forecast

Damp conditions were expected to linger along significant areas of the state's eastern regions this week as a atmospheric system continued to attract humidity against the shoreline.

Tomorrow was forecast to be the heaviest precipitation period, with ongoing thunderstorm potential predicted across multiple regions of both regions.

Medical authorities cautioned that there was an increased chance of thunderstorm-induced asthma across the state's northern country region, especially given the ongoing climate situation.
