Residents of Geelong are set to enjoy a classic late spring day, with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures gracing the city this Friday.
A Perfect Spring Day for the Bellarine
The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a largely sunny day for the region. The mercury is expected to climb to a pleasant top of 24 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for lunch outdoors or a stroll along the waterfront.
Early risers will have noticed a cool start, with the morning low sitting around 10 degrees. However, the clear skies will allow things to warm up steadily throughout the day. The conditions are a welcome reprieve and typical for this time of year in Victoria.
Wind and UV Conditions
Those planning activities will be pleased to know winds are expected to remain light and manageable. The forecast suggests north to northwesterly winds at 15 to 20 km/h, which will shift to a lighter southwesterly breeze later in the afternoon.
With the sun shining brightly, the UV index is predicted to be very high. It's a timely reminder for locals and visitors to be sun smart if spending extended time outside. Slip on protective clothing, slop on some SPF30+ sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade, and slide on sunglasses.
Looking Ahead to the Weekend
The fine weather is set to continue into the start of the weekend. Saturday is currently predicted to be mostly sunny again, with a similar maximum temperature. This provides a great opportunity for weekend markets, coastal walks, or tackling the garden.
As always with Australian weather, it's wise to stay updated with the latest forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology for any changes, especially if you have specific outdoor plans. But for now, Geelong can look forward to a beautiful, sunny end to the working week.
