The NYE & New Year’s Day Weather Forecast Is Here & It’s Not At All What You’d Expect

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day weather in 2024 Australia

Christmas and Boxing Day are all well and good, but let’s be honest, the main event is New Year’s Eve (and New Year’s Day, if you’re someone with stamina unlike me). Specifically, I want to know what the New Year’s Eve weather and New Year’s Day weather is going to bring, because Mother Nature has proven to be an extremely unpredictable binch of late.

Will we see more flooding in Sydney (RIP Tottis) or thunderstorms in the GC?

Taking a look at the long-range forecast on AccuWeather, we’re able to smugly predict what’s gonna go down when we welcome in 2025. Spoiler alert: some of ya are gonna get drenched.

New Year’s Eve Weather and New Year’s Day Weather in Australia

Sydney

Sydney’s NYE is a bit of a mixed bag. While it’s not hot enough that you’ll be soaked in sweat, it is a lil’ humid. Watch out for that frizz which will definitely be growing on your head.

  • NYE Temperature: High of 28°C, low of 21°C.
  • NYE Weather: A morning thunderstorm; otherwise, humid with clouds giving way to sun.

For your Hangover Day, AKA New Year’s Day, it’s a bit cloudy and it won’t be too scorching. Just remember to keep hydrated!

  • NYD Temperature: High of 26°C, low of 21°C.
  • NYD Weather: Mostly cloudy and humid.

Melbourne

Dare I say that Melbourne may have the best NYE and NYD combo?! It’s not too hot on New Year’s Eve, with the next day having a bit of rain. Perfect for that inside recovery day and Maccas via UberEats!

  • NYE Temperature: High of 27°C, low of 15°C.
  • NYE Weather: Mostly cloudy.
  • NYD Temperature: High of 28°C, low of 16°C.
  • NYD Weather: Overcast with a little rain in the afternoon.
