Given forecast highs for Thursday, it doesn't look as if any will be likely. There are also yellow alerts for Saturday (the whole island except the east); a high of 38C is being forecast. More are possible for Sunday.
On Thursday there may be some occasional patchy cloud with highs of around 35/36C. It is forecast to be quite breezy in areas, while daytime humidity in general should be quite low. Different matter at night, with tropical nights (no lower than 20C) on the cards.
