Today's Forecast

Any rainfall in the far southeast will soon clear to leave largely dry and bright conditions throughout the day. After midnight, outbreaks of mainly light rain will spread in from the northwest, but this should soon clear by around 0500. Thereafter it should stay dry and fine.

 

Outlook for the next four days (forecasts run from midday to midday)
Friday

Sunny spells and the odd shower. However by evening it should be dry. Clear skies for a time will allow temperatures to dip. Thickening cloud is expected by midnight, and this will herald the arrival of some rain on Saturday morning.

Saturday

Cloudy with rain at times through the afternoon and evening. Perhaps becoming drier towards the end of the night, but with enough cloud to prevent temperatures from falling too low. Cloudy but largely dry on Sunday morning.

Sunday

and

Monday

Outbreaks of rain will develop through the afternoon, and continue into the evening and overnight period. Becoming breezy but also milder with temperatures staying well above freezing. Rain continuing through much of Monday, eventually clearing by Tuesday. Mild.
