Just weeks before the start of summer, NSW experienced an unusual burst of winter weather over the weekend, with snow blanketing parts of the alpine region and temperatures plunging across the state. Sydney also felt the effects of the unseasonable cold snap, recording its coldest November night in two decades as icy winds swept through the southeast. But the chilly conditions aren’t expected to last. After a remarkably wintry start to November, Sydney is preparing for another dramatic shift in the weather, with warmer temperatures returning and the possibility of thunderstorms in the days ahead. Here’s what the latest forecasts reveal about the week ahead.
Sydney’s weather forecast for the week ahead
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Monday, November 9, will remain relatively cool, with a maximum of 21°C and southerly winds reaching 35km/h. Conditions will improve on Tuesday, with sunshine and temperatures climbing to around 25°C in the city.
Wednesday temperatures are expected to reach 27°C as winds shift towards the south later in the day. A 60 per cent chance of rain is forecast across Sydney, with showers and possible thunderstorms during the morning and afternoon.
Despite the dramatic weekend cold snap, another spell of unusually low temperatures is not expected in Sydney this week. Overnight conditions should also become milder, offering some relief after the city’s record-breaking November chill.
The warmer conditions are expected to continue through much of the week, although occasional showers and cloudy skies could interrupt the sunshine. Looking ahead to the weekend, Sydney can expect mild to warm temperatures, with further showers possible and rain becoming more likely on Sunday.
