As the holiday season approaches, many Australians are wondering what the weather will be like on Christmas Day. With December just around the corner, early forecasts give us a glimpse of what to expect, and while it’s hard to predict exactly, we do know that some regions are in for some wet weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New South Wales: Rainy Yet Pleasant<\/h2>\n

Sydney is no stranger to unpredictable weather, and this December seems no different. The forecast suggests that December will be a rainy month, with plenty of cloudy days and occasional showers, reports 9News<\/a>. The temperatures will hover around 19\u00b0C in the mornings, warming up to a comfortable 28\u00b0C in the afternoons. As for Christmas Day itself, the rain should hold off, though clouds will linger. Temperatures will stay mild, with a high of 27\u00b0C, so it\u2019s a good idea to keep an umbrella handy just in case.<\/p>\n

Victoria: Mild and Mostly Sunny<\/h2>\n

In Melbourne, December promises a warm but mostly cloudy month. Expect highs of around 25\u00b0C and lows of 13\u00b0C. While there will be some rain and thunderstorms towards the end of the month, Christmas Day looks like it will be relatively calm. The forecast predicts a sunny day with a few clouds scattered in the sky, and a high of 24\u00b0C. It\u2019s the kind of weather that makes you feel grateful for the sun without it getting too hot.<\/p>\n

Queensland: Hot and Sunny<\/h2>\n

Brisbane, on the other hand, will be sweltering, with daily temperatures often exceeding 30\u00b0C. It\u2019s the kind of weather where you\u2019re thankful for air conditioning. Throughout the month, expect a few summer storms, but Christmas Day itself will be sunny with a few clouds breaking up the bright sky. With a high of 28\u00b0C, it\u2019s the perfect weather to spend the day at the beach, enjoying the summer sun.<\/p>\n

ACT: Showers in the Forecast<\/h2>\n

Canberra<\/a>\u2019s December will be pleasantly warm, with highs of around 26\u00b0C and lows of 13\u00b0C. While the month will see a mix of sunshine and cloud cover, Christmas Day is expected to bring some showers. Despite the rain, temperatures will still be on the warmer side, reaching 28\u00b0C, so it could be a good idea to plan some indoor activities just in case.<\/p>\n

Adelaide will be experiencing a hot December, with temperatures regularly hitting the low 30s. While the city will have mostly sunny days, patches of cloud will occasionally break up the sun. Christmas Day, unfortunately, looks like it will bring some rain. Still, the temperature will make up for it, with a high of 27\u00b0C, so it won\u2019t be a complete washout.<\/p>\n

Western Australia: Sunny Weather with a Few Storms<\/h2>\n

Perth is gearing up for a sticky, warm summer, with average highs around 31\u00b0C and lows in the 18\u00b0C range. Like most of the rest of the country, December will feature plenty of sunshine, but isolated thunderstorms are possible. Christmas Day looks to be cloudy, but the high of 29\u00b0C should keep things comfortable enough for a holiday barbecue or an afternoon at the park.<\/p>\n

Darwin will be downright hot, with highs reaching around 34\u00b0C throughout December. The tropical climate will bring plenty of rain and thunderstorms, including on Christmas Day, where the temperature will hover around 32\u00b0C. It\u2019s going to be a sweaty Christmas, so staying hydrated and finding some shade will be essential.<\/p>\n
