Residents across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast are waking up to ideal conditions this Friday, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a day of abundant sunshine and mild temperatures.
A Detailed Look at Today's Conditions
The day began with a crisp, clear morning. The Bureau of Meteorology reports that the mercury is set to climb to a very comfortable maximum of 24 degrees Celsius. Those heading out early or planning an evening stroll will experience cooler temperatures, with an overnight minimum dipping to a fresh 9 degrees.
Wind conditions will remain light and manageable throughout the day. A north to northwesterly breeze is expected, shifting to a south to southwesterly flow later in the afternoon. Winds are forecast to be between 15 to 20 km/h, becoming light in the late evening.
Sun Safety and Regional Outlook
With clear skies dominating, sun protection will be essential. The UV index is predicted to reach 4, which is considered a moderate level. This means sun protection is recommended for anyone spending extended time outdoors.
The fine weather is creating perfect conditions for local beaches. For those planning a trip to the coast, the surf forecast indicates smooth conditions. Swell is coming from the southwest at around half a metre.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the sunny spell is set to continue for Saturday across the Geelong region. However, a change is on the horizon. Sunday is expected to bring increasing cloud cover and a high chance of showers, potentially extending into Monday, as a cooler air mass moves across Victoria.
This forecast provides an excellent opportunity for locals and visitors to make the most of outdoor activities, from coastal walks to leisurely afternoons in Geelong's many parks, before the wetter weather arrives.
