Sydneysiders are in for a treat this Christmas with a forecast of 28 degrees and sunny skies. The Bureau of Meteorology predicts a high-pressure system will keep rain at bay, with light winds and clearing clouds.
Sydney siders will be gifted a glorious summer day this year for Christmas , with a top of 28 degrees forecast for the city on December 25 and a high-pressure system keeping the chance of rain low.Light easterly winds of 15 to 25km/h and a smattering of clearing clouds will accompany the tearing of wrapping paper and the cracking of prawn shells on the big day, according to the Bureau of Meteorology’s forecast released on Wednesday afternoon.
There’s a slight possibility of a morning shower or two on NSW’s coast, but the overall chance of rain stands at 10 per cent and the day should stay mostly warm and dry across the state.The promised weather is in sharp contrast to last year, when a on Christmas Eve, flooding streets in Bondi and leaving 20 drivers in need of rescue by the State Emergency Service.At least 24 flights were cancelled and a Virgin plane flying from Sydney to Melbourne was struck by lightning.Looking beyond the festive season, the bureau expects a sweltering, steamy summer ahead with above-average daytime heat and stewing summer nights. Most of Australia, including Sydney, has an 80 per cent chance of exceeding median maximum temperatures for the rest of the year, and the trend will continue until at least March. Sea surface temperatures off Australia’s coast were the highest on record for November, which will continue to influence our weather as the warm seas pump extra moisture into the atmosphere, boosting the likelihood of rainfall. Some cloud and wind patterns in the Pacific have recently hinted towards the onset of a rain-summoning La Nina weather cycle, but the bureau expects the El Nino-Southern Oscillation to remain neutral until at least April next year.Credit:Sydney’s west already copped its hottest day in 12 months on Tuesday with a 41.6 degree scorcher in Penrith., measured the heat of gym equipment in Parramatta’s afternoon heat and found it was 98 degrees, hot enough to burn a child’s hand
