What is the weather like in Sydney?
For the majority of the
year Sydney enjoys a warm and sunny climate with the Pacific Ocean
doing a great job of sparing us from too many extreme temperatures.
None-the-less Sydney's weather can vary from brilliant sunshine
to cloudy and grey. Sometimes it even rains.
Sydney Weather
It wasn't that long ago
that a growing number of Sydneysiders looked up at the blue sky
with concern. You could gauge the mood by comments from the weathermen.
Sydney weather forecasters used to smile when they forecasted rain.
Not anymore. We have had substantial rain and even flooding. The
dams are close to full. So now we welcome the sunshine again, at
least for a while. So what is the weather like in Sydney now?

What to do when it rains
in Sydney
Ok, so the weatherman
(and women) says the sky will rain, rain down upon us and there
is nothing we can do about it. You look at the weather radar in
the hope they have got it wrong but it doesn't look promising.
Rainy day in Sydney
A rainy day in Sydney
does not mean that there is nothing to do in Sydney. Far from it,
sure it is true that Sydney is an outdoor city. Any city blessed
with a beautiful harbour and fantastic beaches is going offer amazing
outdoor experiences and lifestyle. Yet Sydney also offers both visitor
and local alike, many wonderful things to do even if it is raining.

Planning for a wet day
in Sydney
It depends how long you
will be Sydney, but if you intend to be here for more than a few
days, expect some wet weather. The best way to deal with this possibility
is to go through the top 100 plus things to do in Sydney and plan
to do the things that really require good weather first.
Darling Harbour
Darling Harbour, for
example, has a number of wet weather day things to do like the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium, National Maritime Museum and Imax Theatre. So plan to
visit Darling Harbour towards the end of your trip, if it rains
get there earlier.

What to wear on a wet
day in Sydney
Just because it is wet
day in Sydney it doesn't mean that it is going to be cold. A decent
hat might suffice for light rain or an umbrella. If you wear too
much on a wet day you may face the choice of having to cart the
extra clothes a round with you or be uncomfortably warm.
Go sightseeing in the
rain in Sydney (?)
Another option, if the
weather isn't that great, is to go sightseeing. You can do it yourself
by hiring a car or using public transport or easier still, sit in
a warm (if a bit steamy) bus.

What about really hot
days in Sydney?
On a really hot day in
Sydney there are three favourite places everybody seems to head
for - the beach, the beach and the beach. All of the Sydney's beaches
are good beaches, it doesn't matter (unless you like to go surfing)
whether they are ocean beaches or harbour beaches. They are all
good.
Best Beaches in Sydney
The Northern Beaches
stretch from Manly to Palm Beach and are commonly regarded as the
best beaches in Sydney. If you live in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs
like Bondi, or down south towards Cronulla, then you may disagree.
