After its driest October in 4 years with just 37.4mm, Sydney has kicked off November in typical erratic spring fashion- sunshine, a southerly buster and widespread showers! Yesterday the city and west enjoyed a sunny day with 24-27 degrees before a southerly change delivered winds up to 40-50kmh. Late afternoon cloud increased across the city with showers developing overnight.
Moist south-easterly winds have delivered the heaviest falls to coastal suburbs, especially the northern beaches, with lighter falls further west. To 9am this morning: Avalon 25mm, Cronulla 17mm, Chatswood 14mm, City 11mm, Homebush 10mm and Penrith 3.6mm. The mercury will also struggle to get to 20 degrees today across most suburbs. But this gloomy weather will be short lived!
Showers are easing and becoming isolated on Thursday afternoon with dry and partly cloudy skies on Friday with 23-35 degrees. The weekend is heating up on both days with a muggy 27-31 degrees on Saturday with a hot 30-34 degrees on Sunday, around 6-7 degrees above average for November.
Early next week it's expected to stay warm although less comfortable with rising humidity and unstable conditions with the chance of showers and storms. A trough is expected to trigger showers and storms through inland parts of NSW on Sunday and there is a chance that some of these showers and storms may drift towards Sydney as early as Sunday afternoon/evening.
