Sydney is seeing a calm but slightly unsettled start to the weekend, with cloudy skies and occasional light rain across the city today.

Temperatures are staying mild, reaching the low to mid-20s during the day and dropping to around 19°C overnight typical for this time of year as autumn begins to settle in.

Light showers have been on and off throughout the day, and this pattern is expected to continue into the evening. Thick cloud cover has kept conditions mostly grey, although brief sunny breaks may appear later.

Weather experts say these conditions are common for March, which is usually one of Sydney’s wetter months, often bringing higher humidity and scattered rainfall.

While Sydney is only experiencing light rain, other parts of Australia are dealing with more intense weather systems, including storms and heavier rainfall in northern regions.

Overall, conditions remain comfortable despite the damp weather. Residents heading out are advised to carry an umbrella, but temperatures are expected to stay pleasant.
