Hello, Cairns residents! As we step into the New Year, our beautiful city is poised for a delightful stretch of warm and sunny weather over the next few days. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what to expect, perfect for planning your outdoor activities or weekend getaways.
🌡️ Temperature Trends:
Starting with Friday, January 10, expect daytime temperatures to peak at around 31°C (88°F) during the afternoon, while evenings will cool down to about 22°C (72°F). The following day, Saturday, January 11, will be slightly warmer with a maximum of 32°C (90°F) and a minimum of 24°C (75°F). By Sunday, January 12, prepare for even warmer conditions as the mercury may rise to a hot 34°C (93°F). Make sure to stay hydrated and protect yourself from UV rays, which will be particularly intense throughout these days!
☔ Precipitation and Cloud Cover:
For Friday, the odds of rain are virtually non-existent, so it’s a fantastic time to explore Cairns’ stunning outdoor attractions. As the weekend approaches, however, there may be some patchy rain showers on Saturday afternoon into the evening, especially when temperatures peak at 32°C. Sunday’s forecast suggests the possibility of thundery outbreaks later in the day, particularly as temperatures rise, so keep an eye on the sky and be prepared just in case.
🌬️ Winds and Visibility:
Winds will be relatively gentle throughout the weekend, mostly from the east to northeast at speeds of 6-12 km/h. Visibility remains excellent with a maximum of 10 km, ensuring clear views of our gorgeous horizon. The mornings may start off with slightly higher humidity levels, so if you're planning to hit the gym or jog, consider an early start!
🌒 Astronomy Highlights:
For stargazers, the moon will be in its Waxing Gibbous phase, with its illumination peaking on the evening of January 12. This might be a good time for some late-night explorations or simply to enjoy the moonlit scenery.
In summary, Cairns is set for warm and slightly humid conditions with mostly clear skies disabling any worries about precipitation early in the weekend. Whether you’re planning a beach day, a visit to the Reef, or a hike in the Daintree, the weather is bound to be on your side.
