Jackets off on the weekend! The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting temperatures in Canberra bumping up to 21 degrees. This compares with the usual maximums for August of 13 to 16 degrees.
With the official start of spring less than two weeks away, it will feel that winter really is on the way out, but bureau weather forecaster Jiwon Park warned that some cold snaps may return.
And the current highs are still not record-breakers. On August 30, 1982, Canberrans sweltered in 24 degrees.
