So an up and down weekend in Sydney came to an end with cool southerly winds. The mercury reached 32.4C at Sydney Airport on Saturday afternoon. That is really quite warm, although not rare, for September. It was the warmest day for Sydney in over 5 months after the 34.9C recording on March 28.
Temperatures dropped quickly in the afternoon thanks to a cool southerly change which hit the Airport around 2.45pm. Temperatures dropped 10C in only 10 minutes.
Sunday saw a much cooler day with a maximum of only 19.5C recorded at the Airport. The minimum was a monthly high of 16.9C though. There was a hint of moisture in the air and there had been a threat of some brief showers but they held off. September 9 marks 1 month without rain in Sydney.
Meanwhile, in Jyväskylä the warm start to autumn continued. Temperatures were an above average 19.0C and 20.4C for Saturday and Sunday. That is compared to last year's 11.9C and 10.0C for the same dates. Forecasts appear to suggest the weather will cool down over the next week though. While it's still possible, I'd be surprised if the temperature went above 20C again this year.
Rain also stayed away in Jyväskylä. There has only been 1 day of rain in almost 3 weeks, a little unusual for Finland. Along with the cooler temperatures, increasing cloud is also predicted during the coming week though.
