Perfect sunny days for most of the capital cities of the country are predicted for Australia Day coming Thursday. This will though not lead to cancellation of Australia Day barbecue, however, light drizzle is also forecast in some states.

Though the sun will show up but the weather will not be scorching hot. Moreover, temperatures are also expected to stay cooler than the heatwave condition the country has been witnessing from last few weeks.

Let’s have a look at the weather forecast for the cities across Australia:

SYDNEY AND CANBERRA

Weather is expected to remain cloudy and the temperature is not expected to hit scorching 30°C in Sydney but is likely to settle at 27°C. Light rains may occur in the city. Canberra, on the other hand, is likely to witness 30°C.
