Easter is right around the corner, and while many of us are looking forward to some time off, the weather’s going to keep us on our toes! Whether you’re planning a BBQ, a beach trip, or just a cozy weekend indoors, here’s a look at what the weather has in store for each state and territory this Easter.
New South Wales Weather: Wet, But Warm
In New South Wales, Sydney will be seeing a lot of rain this Easter. Friday starts off with a bit of sunshine and warmth, hitting 26°C, but by the evening, expect the rain to roll in. Saturday and Sunday will be cooler, with temperatures sticking around 25°C. If you’ve got outdoor plans, you might want to have a backup. But hey, a rainy Easter weekend isn’t all bad—perfect excuse for indoor activities or binge-watching your favorite series.
Queensland will experience a bit of a wet spell, especially in Brisbane. Showers are expected each day, but the rain will be light—around 1 to 2mm daily, reports 9News. It’s not the end of the world, though; temperatures will stay in the high 20s, which is nice if you’re into mild, tropical weather. The rain shouldn’t totally spoil any outdoor plans, but you might want to bring an umbrella just in case.
Victoria Weather: Cold to Warm with a Chance of Showers
In Melbourne, the weather’s going to be a bit all over the place. Friday starts off cool, with a high of just 18°C, and there’ll be some light showers. But don’t worry, Saturday brings some sunshine and warmer temperatures, hitting around 21°C. If you’re heading out for a Sunday stroll, it should be perfect, with sunny skies and a high of 26°C. Monday, however, looks like the wettest day, so maybe keep your Easter egg hunt indoors if you’ve got one planned.
Over in Perth, it’s looking like the perfect weather for getting outdoors. There’ll be lots of sunshine, and temperatures will hover around the mid-20s. Friday will be the warmest, at 28°C, but the rest of the weekend will be pretty mild, making it ideal for a beach day or a family picnic. The forecast shows very little chance of rain, so Perth’s residents are definitely the lucky ones this Easter.
South Australia Weather: Warm, But with a Chance of Showers
Adelaide is expecting a mix of sun and clouds over the weekend. Friday will be a bit cloudy with a high of 27°C, but as the weekend progresses, temperatures will climb to 29°C on Sunday. Monday might bring a morning shower, but the weather should warm up again, making it a perfect time to catch some outdoor vibes before the rain hits.
In Hobart, the weather’s going to be a little cooler than the mainland. Friday and Saturday will see highs of 15°C and 17°C, so it’ll be a bit chilly. However, by Sunday and Monday, temperatures will creep up to 20°C and 23°C respectively. Just don’t forget to pack a jacket for the first few days, as it’ll feel much colder than the mainland states.
Northern Territory Weather: Hot and Wet
Finally, in Darwin, Easter looks like a stormy one. With thunderstorms likely throughout the long weekend, expect daily rainfall and temperatures consistently in the low 30s. Monday is expected to be the wettest day, so if you’re planning to explore the outdoors, it might be worth considering some indoor activities instead.
While the weather is throwing a bit of everything at us, one thing’s for sure: it’ll be an Easter weekend to remember. Whether you’re battling a bit of rain or basking in sunshine, just make sure to enjoy it—after all, it’s all part of the fun of celebrating the holiday in Australia. Stay safe, stay dry, and don’t forget the Easter eggs!
