Geelong is set to bask in glorious sunshine today, offering locals and visitors the perfect conditions to enjoy the outdoors. The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a mostly sunny day with comfortably warm temperatures.
A Detailed Look at Today's Conditions
The day will begin with some possible early fog or mist, but this is expected to clear quickly to reveal plenty of sunshine. The forecast maximum temperature is a pleasant 24 degrees Celsius. Winds will be light and variable, becoming northerly at about 15 to 20 km/h in the middle of the day.
For those planning activities on or near the water, conditions on Corio Bay are looking favourable. The weather bureau predicts winds below 10 knots early, increasing to between 10 and 15 knots from the north to northeast. Seas are expected to remain below 1 metre.
Sun Safety and the Weekend Outlook
With the clear skies comes strong sun exposure. The UV index is forecast to reach 6, which is considered high. Residents are advised to take standard sun protection measures if they are going to be outside for extended periods.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the fine weather is set to continue. Saturday is predicted to be mostly sunny with a similar top of 24°C. A change is on the cards for Sunday, with increasing cloud cover and a chance of showers developing, potentially bringing some much-needed rainfall to the area.
This stretch of fine weather provides an excellent opportunity for Geelong locals to enjoy the city's parks, waterfront, and outdoor cafes. Whether it's a walk along the Eastern Beach promenade or a picnic in one of the many botanical gardens, today's conditions are ideal.
