It will be around 10 degrees at dawn, 14 degrees around sunrise, then up to 24 degrees during the day for some quality 2-up. Which pub will you all be in? 6:38am: The weather just keeps getting better this week. Sunrise over Botany Bay is looking mighty fine this morning. It will be sunny all week with temperatures warming from 24 degrees today up to 27 degrees on Sunday. That's between three and five degrees above the April average which, considering we're in late April, is quite unusual.
