More grim news after city cops drenching
Those in the Harbour City can expect a thunderstorm on the coast and up to 15mm of rain on Monday.
This comes after more than 40mm of rain fell across the city at the weekend.
The Bureau of Meteorology rain gauge at Sydney Airport recorded 25.2mm in the 24 hours to 9am on Sunday, and another 15.6mm since.
The rain stretched to Bellambi near Wollongong on Sunday night, with 14.5mm falling between 6pm and 10pm.
Following Monday's showers, Sydney is forecast to potentially see a shower or two on Tuesday and Wednesday, with steady maximum temperatures in the high-teens.
The rains are expected to move inland, hitting Wagga Wagga at the end of the week before clear skies plunge the inland city into frost on Sunday. Much of the rain on the radar for Monday is forecast to stay out over the ocean. Bureau of Meteorology Credit: Supplied
Sheep graziers in the NSW Snowy Mountains can expect frost and dangerous conditions for animals on Tuesday, the Bureau says.
Melbourne could see up to 10mm of rain on both Tuesday and Friday. Canberrans will wake to frosts of -1°C on both those days as well, the forecast predicts.
Brisbane is forecast for a mostly sunny week, while Perth could see up to 25mm of rain across Wednesday and Thursday. Adelaide and Hobart are in for drizzly weeks, while Darwin's dry season proves true to form.
The Bureau is predicting a wetter than usual spring, with above average and potentially record-breaking rainfall for most of the eastern two-thirds of the country between August and November.
'Daytime temperatures for August to October are likely to be above average for northern, western, and southeastern Australia, with below-average daytime temperatures likely for the interior and some eastern parts of the country,' senior climatologist Lynette Bettio told NewsWire this week.
'This is consistent with the wetter-than-average forecasts and associated cloud cover,' Dr Bettio said.
'Night-time temperatures are very likely to be above average for most of Australia.'

Big wet set to linger, as BOM predicts above-average rainfall for spring
Don't pack those gumboots and raincoats away just yet, as the spring rainfall forecast is for above-average rainfall for most of eastern Australia. This comes on the back of a very wet autumn and winter, with the result that some parts of the Mid North Coast and Hunter Valley, had reached their average yearly rainfall totals by the end of July, if not earlier. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is also predicting warmer-than-average nights cross Australia, with an increased chance of unusually high overnight temperatures for northern, eastern and central Australia. One of the climate influences that may result in increased rainfall this spring is the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), which is currently neutral. However, the last three weeks of the IOD index have been below the negative IOD threshold. A negative IOD is associated with wetter conditions in Eastern Australia. According to the BOM this is because Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures impact rainfall and temperature patterns over Australia. Warmer than average sea surface temperatures can provide more moisture for frontal systems and lows crossing Australia. The latest IOD index value for the week ending 10 August is 0.84 °C. Sustained index values less than or equal to 0.4 °C for at least eight weeks are typical of a negative IOD event. Development of a negative IOD is increasingly likely. All international models, including the Bureau's model, predict a negative phase of the IOD during spring, with a return to neutral in early summer, consistent with the typical IOD life cycle. August is usually a dry, cold and windy month, but this year it's been wet. So far Kempsey has recorded 100mm, Dorrigo 135mm, Wingham 142mm and Bulahdelah 160mm. In the Barrington Tops, Careys Peak topped with 338 and Moppy with 224. In Maitland 125mm was recorded and 144mm in Branxton and 132mm in Dungog. In the Upper Hunter so far this month Muswellbrook has recorded 79mm, Scone 64mm, Timor 51mm and Merriwa 21mm.
