A warm last day of 2013 for Sydney, snow briefly returns to Jyväskylä

New Year's Eve 2013 was a nice and warm day in Sydney. Temperatures at the Airport peaked at 30.2C just before 4pm. Today was the warmest New Year's Eve of the past 5 years in Sydney. It hovered around 26C for most of the day though as a result of easterly winds. By the time the fireworks go off at midnight it should be around 20C, which is fairly comfortable for those out and about.

Jyväskylä woke up to snow this morning. Temperatures dipped below zero for the first time since December 20 as well. Only a small amount of snow fell though and with temperatures currently at 1.6C and a forecast for 2C, it won't be around for long. New Year's Eve 2008 saw a daily maximum of 2.2C, the warmest of the last 6 years. Today will come close to, if not surpass, that figure.

2014 will start off warm in Sydney with mostly sunny weather and 28C predicted for tomorrow. 33C is forecast for Thursday. Jyväskylä will continue its above average trend with the chance of rain overnight and a top of 3C tomorrow.
