Weather the week ahead and rainfalls

THE system which brought rainfall last week is moving offshore and bringing cooler temperatures and while there may still be cloudy conditions, the weather will start to clear, winds will ease and temperatures will begin to climb again on Thursday.

Today and Tuesday the temperatures will remain in the low 20s and by Thursday will push back into the high 20s and may crack 30.

There is another chance of significant rainfall as we head into the weekend and while that weather system is a little way off and things may change, the Bureau of Meteorology said there is a chance of another 20mm in that system, with some areas that may receive more with more intense isolated showers.
