Welcome to cwg.live, updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists.
Happening now: Our heat wave finally breaks today, with highs in the mid-70s (north and east) to mid-80s (south and west). Rain chances may focus south and west of town, but stay tuned.
What's next? Back up to roughly 90 this weekend, with daily storm chances. A few storms could turn strong. It may still feel near 100 degrees early next workweek given high humidity.
Today's daily digit — 6/10: Leaning into the heat break is the main positive, but it is cloudy with some rain chances around, especially south and west of town. | 🤚 Your call?
The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.
Forecast in detail
Today (Friday): Cooler and mainly cloudy. Highs vary with mid- to upper 70s northeast of town to mid-80s southwest of town. A few showers, along with afternoon and evening storms, are possible. Rain may focus west and south of the area if the front sags that way. Monitor along with us. Confidence: Medium
Tonight: Storms or a downpour are possible into the early morning hours, but most may just experience mostly cloudy skies. Muggy lows near 70 to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow (Saturday): Fairly typical weather for late June, with highs shooting for 90, plus or minus a few degrees. Humidity gets into the high side and should help set off some afternoon thunderstorms, with a few possibly turning strong to severe. We'll monitor. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Evening thunderstorms may continue but their intensity wanes by midnight. Humid with lows near 70 to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
Sunday: More of the typical heat but perhaps just a slight dip in humidity (fingers crossed). Highs upper 80s to low 90s. A a few mid- to late afternoon thunderstorms have about a 50/50 chance of development. So far storm intensity isn't concerning. Confidence: Medium
A look ahead
Sunday night: A few evening storms may slip into the early morning hours. Lows are again not very cool with a possible resurgence in humidity — near 70 to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
A cold front slowly approaches Monday and Tuesday. This should ignite numerous afternoon and evening storms, and some could be strong to severe. Near-oppressive humidity with upper 80s to low 90s may make it feel like 100 degrees. Lows only get to near 70 into the mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
Wednesday and Thursday have very limited, low rain chances, sunnier skies and somewhat less humid air for a change. Highs are currently looking like mid-80s to near 90. Confidence: Medium

Icy blast expected in ‘every state'
Australians nationwide are likely to wake up to frosty conditions in the coming days, as chilly morning ground temperatures are forecast across every state and territory. Frost alerts have been issued for several southeastern regions, including Canberra, where temperatures are expected to dip below freezing. Sky News meteorologist Marina Neuman described the frost forecast as 'widespread,' with cold conditions set to affect both the eastern and western parts of the country. The anticipated frost coverage spans a wide area, including the ACT, most of New South Wales, and parts of Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia. 'That means the entire country, every single state, are likely to see frost at least somewhere within their respective state or territory,' Neuman said. She noted that some southeastern regions already faced 'icy cold' conditions on Friday morning, with Canberra reaching a low of just 1.3°C. The capital was forecast to plunge to – 5°C on Saturday, while Sydney was expected to see a minimum of 7°C. The Bureau of Meteorology issued frost warnings for areas in Victoria and South Australia. In northern Victoria, severe frosts could send the mercury as low as – 4°C, potentially causing significant damage to crops, according to the bureau. In South Australia, frosts and lows of around – 1°C were forecast for districts such as the Mid North, Upper South East, Murraylands, and Riverlands. A sheep graziers' warning has also been issued for the Snowy Mountains in NSW, with cold temperatures and north-westerly winds expected. Up north a band of cloud and rain has started forming over The Gulf of Carpentaria, bringing wet conditions to parts of northern Queensland and the Northern Territory. As Sunday progresses, this rain band is expected to move eastwards, reaching the Queensland coast. By the end of the day, much of eastern Queensland — from Townsville down to Brisbane — is likely to experience rainfall. The bureau's latest weather update said the rain would 'continue into Monday morning, clearing out of the state by Monday evening as the wet weather pushes into NSW'. 'The rain isn't expected to be heavy or cause flooding. However, it does come during the drier time of year, so may be disruptive for the start of the school holidays,' the bureau said. A cold front is expected to sweep through the southeast on Sunday, though Neuman noted it won't bring a major shift in temperatures. Sunday's forecast includes highs of 19°C in Sydney, 21°C in Port Macquarie, 20°C in Coffs Harbour, and 21°C in both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. 'What we're looking at is temperatures remaining right where they should be for this time of the year,' Neuman said. 'However, it might feel a bit cooler than that in Queensland because we have rainfall moving in. That's going to be all the way across the tropics, through the centre and well into the coastline, and so that could make it feel a bit cooler both Saturday as well as Sunday.' Maximum temperatures forecast for other capitals on Sunday include 13°C in Melbourne, 20°C in Perth, 16°C in Adelaide, 11°C in Hobart, 13°C in Canberra, and a warm 31°C in Darwin.

Amber heat health alert in force as temperatures could hit 30C today
Temperatures could reach 30C today as a second amber heat health alert in two weeks came into force yesterday. Temperatures reached 29C in Coningsby, Lincolnshire, on Friday, and the weather is forecast to climb over the next few days, the Met Office said. The UK Health Security Agency's (UKHSA) alert, which covers London, the East Midlands, South East, South West and East of England, will last until 6pm on Tuesday. It also issued a yellow heat health alert for Yorkshire and The Humber and the West Midlands over the same period. Find out the latest weather forecast An amber alert was previously issued for all regions in England on 19 June, the first time it had been used since September 2023. The UKHSA alerts are designed to warn health and social care workers about possible significant impacts on their services - they are not public weather warnings. The alerts in place over the coming days warn of a possible rise in weather-related deaths - particularly among those aged 65 and over or people with health conditions. 'Rise in temperatures over next few days' Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said: "The big talking point at the moment is the rise in temperatures we're going to be seeing over the next few days." Northwest England, parts of Northern Ireland and southern Scotland could see some rain today, and Scotland will see average temperatures for the time of year, but across England it could hit between 29C and 30C in the south east, the forecaster said. There will also be some clouds and it will be quite blustery, but it will ease on Sunday. On Sunday, temperatures will pick up, northwestern Scotland may still see rain, but everywhere else will be warmer, with expected highs of 30-31C in the southeast. There will be a northwest and southeast split on Monday with a chance of it feeling wetter and windier across the northwest, but the heat will remain across central and southern regions. Highs of 34C possible Sky News weather producer Joanna Robinson said highs of 34C are possible on Monday - with a 20% chance of beating the hottest day in June record of 35.6C from 1976. The likelihood of a record-breaking temperature on Monday could increase over the weekend as the day approaches. If the temperature does exceed 35.6C it would make it the hottest start to Wimbledon ever - with the world-famous tennis tournament beginning on Monday. The highest temperature for the opening day of the tournament so far came on 25 June 2001, with 29.3C at Kew Gardens. Heatwave criteria are likely to be met in a few places on Sunday and Monday, mainly across parts of central and eastern England. A heatwave is recorded when an area reaches a certain temperature - the level of which varies across the UK - for three consecutive days. Robinson said there is some uncertainty over how quickly daytime temperatures will start to fall - but it is likely to happen from Tuesday. She added that June is the first month of summer so higher temperatures are more likely in July and August. However, a rapid analysis from scientists at World Weather Attribution found that June heatwaves in the South East - where there would need to be three consecutive days of temperatures above 28C - are about 10 times more likely due to climate change compared with the cooler pre-industrial climate. It comes after 2023 brought the hottest June on record with heatwaves also seen in June 2017 and June 2020. Last , with a provisional temperature of 33.2C recorded in Charlwood, Surrey.
