Geelong is set for a picture-perfect end to the working week, with sunny skies and mild temperatures gracing the city this Friday.
A Glorious Friday Forecast for the Bellarine
According to the latest Bureau of Meteorology data, locals can look forward to a mostly sunny day on Friday, May 17. The mercury is expected to climb to a pleasant top of 24 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal day for outdoor activities. The morning will be particularly crisp, with the low dipping to around 9 degrees.
Winds will be light and manageable throughout the day. They are forecast to be north to northwesterly at 15 to 20 km/h in the morning, before turning west to northwesterly in the middle of the day. This gentle breeze should keep the air feeling fresh without being disruptive.
What's in Store for the Weekend?
The fine conditions are predicted to continue into the start of the weekend. Saturday is shaping up to be another sunny day, with a similar temperature range. The forecast suggests a low of 10 degrees rising to a high of 23 degrees.
Sunday, however, may see a change. While early indications point to a partly cloudy sky, there is a medium chance of showers, most likely during the afternoon and evening. The chance of rain is currently estimated at 40%. A light wind is also expected to pick up later in the day.
Planning Your Day in Geelong
With such favourable weather on Friday, it's a prime opportunity to enjoy Geelong's outdoor offerings. Consider a walk along the Waterfront, a visit to the Botanic Gardens, or a coffee at one of the city's many alfresco cafes. The light winds and ample sunshine provide perfect conditions for a lunch outside or an evening stroll as the sun sets.
Residents are advised to make the most of the dry and sunny Friday and Saturday, keeping an eye on the forecast for Sunday's potential shower activity. As always with Australian weather, it's wise to check for the latest updates closer to the time.
