Sydney warm weather won't last

Sydney warm weather won't last

Sydney is enjoying unseasonably warm weather on Thursday but meteorologists warn it won't be continuing.

According to Tom Saunders, Senior Meteorologist at The Weather Channel: “Sydneysiders woke to 20˚C at 7am this morning and the minimum of 16˚C was less than two degrees off the all time August record. By 9.30am the city was sitting at 23˚C and climbing.”

The warm weather is thanks to a warm front bringing northerly winds from the tropics lifting temperatures to their highest levels in months.

However a cold front is set to burst wild weather across Victoria and NSW later today.

“Widespread showers, thunderstorms, strong winds and a dramatic temperature drop will affect Victoria and New South Wales today as a cold-front sweeps in from the west,” Tom says.

Sydney can expect showers and storms to clear overnight and a cooler yet sunny weekend will follow.
