'What should I wear today?' Your guide to the weather around the country.

Here’s your guide to Tuesday’s forecast, and the failsafe fashion looks that are guaranteed to go with it:

Adelaide

Good news, Adelaide: today will be a little warmer for you today, with temperatures reaching 22 degrees.

Your skies will still be party cloudy, with a slight chance of a shower in the late morning and afternoon. Winds may pick up later in the day, too, so make sure you pack a jacket to stay cozy!

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • A denim jacket: warm and fashionable
  • A pair of lightweight jeans will go down a treat today, especially with wind blowing about

Brisbane

It really is another beautiful day in BrisVegas, with temperatures maxing out at 27 degrees.

While it’s meant to be a mostly sunny day, there may be a slight chance of rain for those in the bayside suburbs. Everyone else? Slip, slop, slap because the sun will be hanging about all day.

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • Your most fun, most colourful, most flippy skater skirt 
  • Sunglasses to combat those sunny skies and inevitable UV rays

Canberra

Not-so-fun weather can only last for so long. To reward you for putting up with yesterday’s less-than-perfect temps, Tuesday will bring a mostly sunny day with a top temperature of 21 degrees.

No chance of rain really is the icing on the cake, right?

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • Today’s temperature is perfect for that gorgeous silk blouse you’ve been dying to wear for weeks
  • Pair with some high-waisted trousers for that ‘trendy and professional’ look

Darwin

Darwin, things are getting pretty hectic up there today. While it will be 28 degrees, things are going to get very windy and very rainy .

In fact, a thunderstorm is on the way, bringing with it wind gusts of up to 100 km/h and heavy rain. A severe weather warning is in place and a tropical cyclone could develop. Stay safe out there!

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • Heavy rain and gusty winds? This can only mean one thing: PJs. Inside. All day
  • If you choose to go outside, be prepared with 15 raincoats, gumboots and an umbrella that is guaranteed to turn inside out and break

Hobart

Just like yesterday, your top temperature will be 16 degrees, with clouds hanging about in the sky.

There’s also a high chance your morning will be spoiled by some showers.

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • Your most comfortable pair of jeans are just begging to be worn today
  • A bright-coloured cardigan to remind you that sun might just be on the way later in the week (one can only hope)

Melbourne

Things might just be getting better for you, Melbourne, weather-wise. After a few days of crazy winds and heavy rain, it appears as though showers will be clearing in the afternoon.

The temperature will hit 19 degrees.

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • Pants are still definitely a must for chilly temps and leftover rain
  • The rain may be clearing, but it’s not safe to step outside without an umbrella just yet

Perth

Oh, Perth, you lucky things: your Tuesday will be bright and sunny, with top temperatures of 29 degrees. There’s no rain and only a little bit of wind to keep things interesting.

Well done. You deserve a day like today.

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • That fun, bright and printed dress you own? It’s begging to be worn today
  • A lightweight cardigan in case the wind throws your inner temperature gauge off a little this evening

Sydney

Sydney, it will be a little warmer today, with top temperatures of 23 degrees. There’s a 40 per cent chance of rain near the coastline, but no rain on the horizon for other Sydney suburbs.

Today is not the day, however, to head to the beach and head for a surf: there are large and powerful surf conditions, with warnings that rock fishing, swimming and surfing are off-limits today.

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • A smart, fitted black blazer to show the world a bit of rain can’t get in the way of you doing your job
  • Ballet flats that have just a hint of embellishment or sparkle: the countdown to the weekend has officially begun
