Chifley’s temperature range today is 10–16°C with patchy rain clearing to partly cloudy skies, according to the live forecast above. This is a typical autumn pattern for the Australian Capital Territory, with cool mornings and mild afternoons.
What’s driving Chifley’s weather today?
A trough moving east over the ACT is bringing the brief showers shown in the live forecast, followed by a drier southwesterly flow. Winds are light to moderate at 15–25 km/h, which will keep the air fresh but not gusty. Expect the rain to ease by mid-afternoon, with cloud cover thinning from the west.
How does this compare to seasonal averages?
In April, Chifley typically sees a mean maximum of 19°C and around 50 mm of rain for the month. Today’s high of 16°C is a few degrees below that average, reflecting the cooler air mass behind the trough. Overnight lows will drop to 6–8°C, so a jacket will be useful for evening walks near Chifley shops or the nearby Red Hill Nature Reserve.
Will the rain affect driving on Hindmarsh Drive?
The morning showers may leave the road surface damp, but visibility is unlikely to drop below 10 km. Reduced speed on the curve near the Chifley overpass is advisable until the rain clears by midday.
Is it warm enough for outdoor activities at Chifley Park?
Yes, for a brisk walk or kick of the footy, but the 10°C morning start and moderate wind mean you should wear layers. The afternoon sun will lift the feel to around 14°C by 3 pm.
When will it be windiest in Chifley today?
Wind speeds peak between 11 am and 1 pm at 20–25 km/h from the southwest. That’s a fresh breeze that will dry the ground quickly after the showers, but not strong enough to cause wind chill below 8°C.
