Workweek Outlook: Fall heat and drought continue

Temperatures for the end of September and the start of October will continue to be five to ten degrees warmer than normal for early Fall. There appears to be no risk of frost in the next ten days.

Adding to the heat is an impressive drought situation that will also continue. September is typically the wettest month of the year, yet under 20mm has fallen so far, accounting for less than 20% of normal rainfall. There appears to be no chance of rain for at least another ten days.

Monday brings a mix of sun and cloud and temperatures near 23°C. Daytime highs reach 21°C Tuesday under mostly sunny skies and an east wind.

Wednesday and Thursday will be the coolest days of the week as afternoon temperatures fall to 20°C.

The gradual heating begins on Friday as daytime highs creep up to 21°C under sunny skies. The hot, dry weather continues into this weekend.
