Adelaide

What says ‘Friday’ better than 30 degrees, no rain and sunshine all day? Nothing, that’s what.

Enjoy the sun while you can, because although Saturday will bring a top of 28 degrees, there will be a slight chance of a shower. Temperatures will drop to just 18 degrees on Sunday, with a 70 per cent chance of rain. Movies, anyone?

Fail-safe outfit options:

  • Wear the brightest colours you own today to celebrate a) sun and b) the oncoming weekend
  • If you’re  venturing out this weekend, pack a jacket just in case the rain traps you while outside
