The weather, currently.
Another chance of some rain showers as we track a weak front into the region. So far this month we have seen just over 42mm of rain, needless to say well below the monthly norm. There will be some rain showers and possible thunderstorms overnight tonight into the very early morning hours of Thursday. The wake up temperature will be near 21°C. A mix of sun and cloud overall for the day, but still a lingering chance of scattered thunderstorms. Much of the day will be dry though and overall a fair day for some outdoor activity. The high will be 27°C. It will be breezy at times and the UV index will be 9 or very high.
Thursday Night: Partly cloudy with a low of 19°C.
