It was a rather cool day for Sydney with the top temperature being 21.5C. It also reached the same figure yesterday and now both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day share the lowest maximum of the month with less than a week to go.
Rain swept across the city this morning and while the falls weren't too high, it didn't ease until just after midnight. At the Airport 15mm was recorded. The largest falls around Sydney were in the Blue Mountains and on the coast south of the city. At 1am on December 26, Bellambi had received 59.4mm during the previous 13 hours.
The graph below shows the minimums and maximums for December 25 in the past 5 years. Today had the lowest maximum of the most recent 5 Christmas Days in Sydney.
In Jyväskylä the trend of wet weather, cloud and above zero temperatures continued. In the 24 hours prior to 4pm, 9.1mm has fallen at Jyväskylä Airport and more is on the way. Just before midnight yesterday the temperature rose above 3C and it has remained around 4C for the past 12 hours. Forecasts predict it to continue like that until tomorrow morning.
While Sydney had its coolest Christmas Day of the past 5 years, Jyväskylä had its warmest of the past 6.
