THERE’S good and bad news if you’re planning Australia Day outside. It’s going to be really hot and it’s also expected to get wet.

GET your barbecues ready and keep the swimwear out because Australia Day looks set to be a hot and humid scorcher.
Possible storms and rain could threaten those outdoor parties, however, especially if you’re living in Victoria and certain parts of NSW.
Sky News Weather meteorologist Rob Sharpe said heat will very slowly shift from its current focus in NSW and southern Queensland to the southern states in the lead up to Australia Day.
Mr Sharpe said it would be a hot one for a lot of the country.
“On Australia Day it will be hot across southern and southeastern Australia, with heatwave conditions continuing over western NSW and northern South Australia,” he said.
“The heat is due to a pair of almost stationary troughs sitting over the south-east and the western inland of the country.”
Mr Sharpe said the trough in the southeast will produce showers and storms in eastern Victoria and southern and central parts of NSW on Friday, which will “likely interrupt a few afternoon barbecues, mainly along and near the ranges.”
“The Australia Day long weekend will be extremely hot across the southern capitals with Adelaide forecast to exceed 40 degrees each day, and Melbourne above 35 degrees.”
“Even Hobart is forecast to hit 35 on both Saturday and Sunday on the long weekend.”

Mr Sharpe said Perth looked to be the pick of the capitals, with the city expecting a top of 28C.
Adelaide is forecast to hit 40C.
“Darwin is the most likely to be wet, with showers and storms in the forecast,” he said.
“Sydney should be warm and humid, with showers and storms a risk in the west. Just the chance of a shower or two each day in Brisbane across the long weekend with daily tops of 31C.”
