The trade winds will vary between weak and moderate during this day, with occasional gusts of wind in the mountain ranges, also in the plains of both the North Pacific and North Zone, and the lower areas of the Central Valley.

Fresh temperatures are expected for the first hours of this night: the Central Valley temperatures between 17°C - 20°C, while in the high parts of the mountains, less than 15°C.
