Here is the week’s weather forecast for Sydney. Today, it’ll be hot and sunny with temperatures up to 21 degrees Celsius. Tuesday will be warm, but cloudy, with a high of twenty. Things will change on Wednesday: it’ll be a windy day with the possibility of rain from midday until midnight. With the wind, the temperature will fall to around fifteen degrees, so it’ll feel a lot cooler. On Thursday, the day will start cloudy, and there is a high chance of heavy rain because it is likely to be stormy in the afternoon. On Friday, there is less chance of rain, and we should mostly have a dry day with some sun. Temperatures will be around 20 degrees again. Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday will be warm and dry with temperatures of about 23 degrees, but, on Sunday, things will change again—temperatures will drop and the rain will return. And the outlook for next week: it will be warm but cloudy with some rain.
