Temperatures in Jyväskylä could climb to over 5C later tonight and early tomorrow morning as strong westerly winds batter the southern half of Finland. Wind warnings are in place for all coastal areas as well as Central Finland. The Finnish Meteorological Institute warns inland gusts could exceed 20m/s, with the worst of the winds around 5am.
The mercury went above zero just before midnight yesterday and has been holding steady at 1.3C and 1.4C for the last 5 hours or so. Saturday evening saw the second coldest temperature of the month, -13.8C at 6pm. It has been climbing since then and should continue to do so this evening.
Brief but heavy showers hit parts of Sydney this morning. Sydney Airport and surrounding areas received the biggest falls. The Airport has recorded 26mm today. The majority of that, 24.4mm, fell between 6:40am and 9:30am. Temperatures still reached above 25C later in the day though; 25.1C the recording at 1:29pm.
The average maximum so far for December stands at 27.0C. This is equal with 2012's figure. No other December since 2009 is higher than that. Should the weather continue the way it has been going so far this month, this will be the warmest December in the last 5 years. The current forecast seems to support that idea. It's an absolute beauty at the moment with maximums ranging between 26C and 30C for the coming 7 days.
