The shops have already started to sell Christmas decorations — it’s less than 100 sleeps til’ the BIG day — so it makes sense that there’s already some predictions for what the weather will be like for Christmas Day 2024 in Australia.
Weather you love planning ahead or just plan to rock up on the day, you can’t help but admit it’s pretty darn handy to know if it’s gonna be rain or shine on December 25.
Now, we are a *bit* far from the date, so the weather predictions are slightly vague at the moment, but we’ll keep updating them as they pour in.
Taking a peek at what sources like AccuWeather and The Bureau Of Meteorology have to say, it looks like we’re in for a bit of a mixed bag. The long-range forecast currently stretches up to 25 December, 2024, so we can get an idea of what Christmas Day 2024 looks like.
Here are the Christmas Day weather forecasts for each capital city:
Christmas Day weather 2024 for Aussie cities
Sydney, New South Wales
I’m sad to announce the week leading up to Christmas will be rainy for Sydneysiders. The temperature still seems like it’ll be on the hotter side, but never fear, because 25 December looks clear! It’s not too hot either, so both you and your pits will be staying bone dry.
- Temperature: High of 25°C, low of 17°C.
- Weather: Intervals of cloud and sun
Melbourne, Victoria
For those based in Melbourne, your Christmas day will end with a bang. Literally. It’s mostly cloudy throughout the day, with a couple of showers and a late thunderstorm. Sounds downright gloomy, TBH.
- Temperature: High of 24°C, low of 15°C.
- Weather: Considerable cloudiness with a couple of showers and a thunderstorm, mainly later.
Adelaide, South Australia
Christmas Eve is rainy in Adelaide, but it clears up just in time for the big day. There might be the odd shower, but it’ll be mostly sunny and not too hot. That’s a win!
- Temperature: High of 25°C, low of 14°C.
- Weather: Sunny periods with a shower in places.
Perth, Western Australia
Perth kinda seems like it might be winning Christmas-weather-wise this year. The sun is out in full force, but it’s a perfectly reasonable temperature.
- Temperature: High of 28°C, low of 18°C.
- Weather: Abundant amounts of sunshine.
Hobart, Tasmania
Tassie’s capital has a slightly cooler Christmas on the cards, and it looks pretty wet the week leading up to Christmas. However, the week of 22 December is mostly sunny, although it’s a bit crisp.
- Temperature: High of 22°C, low of 13°C.
- Weather: Mostly sunny
Darwin, Northern Territory
I fear Darwin is gonna be HOT for Christmas. Like, you’re gonna be drenched, type hot. In the week leading up to Christmas, there’s a mix of sunny and partly cloudy days, with an average high of 35°C and a low of 25°C. I would simply perish.
- Temperature: High of 35°C, low of 25°C.
- Weather: Partial sunshine
Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
Canberra is *probably* staying dry on Christmas Day, with the week prior forecasted to be mostly sunny with a smattering of rain. Locals may need to rug up during the evening though, because the lowest temp is a bit chilly.
- Temperature: High of 25°C, low of 11°C.
- Weather: Bright periods
Brisbane, Queensland
Well, Bris-Vegas could be getting a bit stormy for their Christmas pressie. At least it’s warm??
- Temperature: High of 28°C, low of 22°C.
- Weather: Overcast with thundery showers.
