The clouds are covering the bright daytime sun and it appears that sun is peeping from behind the clouds. The clouds are huge, fluffy and might rain anytime, and since the clouds are transient and moving fast, it uncovers the sun in a while and it becomes a sunny day again.

Partly cloudy Saturday
According to the weather service, Saturday will see a minimum temperature of 15°C and a maximum of 21°C.

While rainfall is possible, the relatively low wind speed and the moderate probability of rain suggest scattered showers rather than widespread rain.
