Hi, I’m your weather girl, and do I have news for you. This weekend is going to be a Grade-A scorcher across the entirety of Australia. With a lot of people planning to go away for a mini-holiday, it’s good to know just how hot things are going to be. Spoiler: Pretty fucking hot.
We’ve got UV indexes of 11-15 across the entire weekend, which in layman’s terms means we’ve got UV indexes of extreme to extreme. That’s pretty fun, but also the usual for the sunburnt country we call home.
But hey, let’s go over every single capital city across Australia and have a gander at how goddamn hot this place is going to get. Maybe it’s time to change your weekend plans to a beach getaway instead of someplace humid and yuck.
All forecasts are from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Sydney
Hello Sydney legends, I’m sure it will surprise you none that this weekend is going to melt the skin off your very bones. UV index will reach around 12, which means it’s time to slip, slop and slap, and the minimum temperatures are going to be around the twenties, which basically implies that at best, we’ll have a pleasant day, and at worst, a scorcher.

So essentially, Saturday isn’t going to be too hot for you lot, but it only gets worse from there. Sunday will potentially reach a max of 38, which is one of the hottest temps across the country. You know what that means? Beach. Straight to the beach.
