Sydney's sunny weather coming to an end

Josh Fisher
After Sydney's sunniest weekend since December, cloud cover quickly rolled in this morning with a southerly change. The first three days of February were as gloomy as they come, with extensive cloud cover and more than 70mm of rain. Daytime temperatures during the first three days were well below normal, averaging just 21 degrees, making it the coolest string of February days since 2002. The skies finally cleared just in time for the weekend, with close to 11 hours of sunshine on both Saturday and Sunday. Sydneysiders have not seen a sunnier weekend since December. The temperature also rebounded, reaching as high as 27 degrees on Sunday. The brief glimmer of sunshine disappeared in the blink of an eye this morning as a southerly change drew cloud over the region. The sun will break through periodically today, but showers will develop this evening as the winds tend towards the southeast. The cooler southeast winds, cloud cover and showery weather will remain the dominant feature during the next week. This will also work to keep temperatures down in the city, remaining in the low to mid twenties.
