Rain or shine, millions of Australians will take the coming Monday, October 6, off as part of a long weekend.

For people in New South Wales, South Australia, and the ACT, Monday is Labour Day.

On the same day, Queensland will commemorate the King’s Birthday.

Adelaide is anticipating a cloudy Friday with a high of 19 degrees, along with a possibility of rain. However, the city’s forecast of a wet week seems to be easing temporarily.

A sunny Saturday will reach 27 degrees, rising further to 29 on Sunday, though clouds will return then.

There’s a solid chance of rain on Monday, cooling things off to a top of 25 degrees.

Canberra will wake to cloudy skies on Friday with a top of 17 degrees.

It will warm up somewhat over a mostly sunny weekend, with tops of 23 on Saturday, 25 on Sunday, and 26 on Monday.

But the lows keep their Canberra chill, with it forecast to get as cold as three degrees on Saturday as well.

It’s set to be a gloomy week throughout in Melbourne, with rain and clouds throughout the October 3 to October 6 period.

Temperatures will rise from 18 degrees on Friday to 27 on Sunday, before dipping back to 22 on Monday.

In Perth, clouds are set to increase on Friday ahead of the weekend’s rainfall. Rainfall totals are expected to range between 15mm to 20mm both on Saturday and Sunday.

Temperatures will remain consistently in the low 20s.

In Hobart, Friday and Monday will be chilly and wet with a forecast top of 17 degrees.

But things will warm up a bit on the weekend proper, reaching the low 20s.

The ever-consistent Darwin will endure another four days of sun, with temperatures solidly in the mid-30s.
