Winds on the coast could reach 35kph, causing low visibility as dust and sand is swept into the air.

There's also a chance of rain on Saturday, especially eastern and southeastern areas, which could extend to the coast.

Winds reaching 40kph could cause blowing dust and sand, reducing visibility.

Sunday will be significantly cooler. There is also a chance of heavier rain as convective clouds form over the east and south, possibly stretching to the coast.

The unsettled weather will continue into the start of next week, with Tuesday evening set to be particularly humid.
