Will you shiver or sweat? Australia Day weather in every state
Australia Day is set to be a cool overcast day for most parts of the country following a heatwave inflicting soaring temperatures across southern Australia on the weekend.
Parts of southern Australia, particularly near the NSW-Victoria border, are set to see temperatures climb 10 to even 15 above the maximum January average across Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
But luckily, there is some reprieve from the heat on the way.
Sydney Australia Day weather
Sydney could see some light showers on the afternoon of Australia Day so if you’re considering taking a stroll on Bondi Beach you might want to consider taking an umbrella.
