Warmer weather
After some mild February days, the Bureau of Meteorology is predicting temperatures in Cobar will creep back up to 40 degrees by the weekend. According to the Bureau, Saturday will be our hottest day of the week with an expected top of 40 degrees as the gauge climbs from an expected top today of 37 degrees. There’s a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm this evening which should cool things off marginally with 35 the expected maximum for tomorrow. Friday’s top should also reach 35 before the spike to 40 on Saturday. The mercury should then drop overnight back down to 35 degrees on Sunday. Continued sunny weather is predicted for the start of the working week, with 34 degrees the expected top temperature for Monday. Daytime temperatures in Cobar were a mixed bag last week with the Bureau recording temperatures ranging from 35.2 degrees last Monday (our hottest day of the week) down to 24.9 degrees on Friday, which was our coolest day of the week. Wednesday and Thursday were warm days with 33 and 33.3 degrees respectively recorded by the Bureau. Saturday was a mild day with a top of 26.9 degrees while Sunday was warmer with the mercury climbing to a top of 31.5. No rain was recorded by the Bureau in Cobar over the past week but we do have a reasonable chance of some rain this week with showers predicted for tomorrow.
