The advice for today is to take an umbrella or raincoat to work because we will get rain according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

The likelihood of rain is close to 100% so you can plan with confidence but the amount to fall is 2-5mm so there is no reason to fear any flash flooding or the closing of sporting fields for the weekend.

Speaking of which, the rain should stop by Saturday morning to what should be a pretty good weekend with Sunday the pick of the days although Saturday will be warmer with 23 degrees (Sunday 19).

Next week is also looking good with temperatures warming each day to a spring like 25 on Thursday.
