Colder in Jyväskylä, not too much change in Sydney

Jyväskylä has seen a few cooler days this week compared to the previous month and a half. The past 5 days have all had daily maximums below 0C, the first 5 day period below 0C since January 29 to February 2.

After Monday's -17C, Tuesday morning was also quite cold, dropping just below -15C. It has been warming up during the days in comparison though. Yesterday was the coldest of the month so far with a maximum of -3.2C.

A decent amount of snow fell in Central Finland on Tuesday. A depth of 9cm was the recording yesterday morning. More snow is falling right now and it should continue until the early hours of tomorrow, but warmer temperatures up to 7C in the coming days mean the snow is unlikely to stick around for long. With 6C predicted and fresh overnight snow, it sounds like it'll be quite wet and sloshy in the city tomorrow.

Sydney Airport saw its warmest day of the month on Tuesday. It reached 30.8C making it the warmest day in 3 weeks. Yesterday was slightly cooler, down to 24.3C, but today was warmer again with 27.3C.

There has been some rain and storm activity around inland New South Wales and off the coast in the past few days but no falls have been recorded at the Airport or Observatory Hill. Some suburbs in Sydney's south west received falls yesterday. Locations in the Southern Highlands just south west of Wollongong received over 100mm.

The debate over whether to have the brolly handy or not looks like it will rage over the coming days if the current forecast is anything to go by. There is the potential for storms and rain throughout the Sydney region all the way into next week.
