“The running average temperature during the first 13 days of this month have been more than three degrees above average.”
“Water temperatures in much of the western Tasman Sea are currently in the top 10 per cent of historical records for this time of year,” Domensino added.
He said it was not the only change to face Sydney, with onshore winds carrying rain from the Tasman Sea along the coast and mountain ranges.
Sydney is facing rain for the next week, with the peak being seen on Tuesday where up to 10mm could fall.
Despite this, temperatures will remain fairly warm, with a top of 24 degrees on Sunday.
“Sydney will continue to see daytime maximum temperatures around 22 to 24 degrees, hovering a few degrees above the May average of 19.6 degrees,” Domensino said.
