Aussies are preparing to celebrate the end of 2025 and the start of 2026 this week.

Celebrations will happen right around the country as millions gather to bring in the new year on Wednesday night.

So what can we expect for the major cities in Australia on New Year’s Eve?

What is the weather forecast in Australia for New Years Eve?

Here is the weather forecast in all of the major cities in Australia on December 31:

The eyes of the country and the world will be on Sydney Harbour for the annual fireworks display.

It will be a bit of a milder New Year’s Eve compared to previous years, but will still be pleasant with a top of 27 degrees.

There will be a bit of cloud about with the small chance of a shower in the afternoon and evening, according to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

However, the rain is expected to be no more than a millimetre, meaning festivities in the Harbour City shouldn’t be dampened too much.

It will be a bit chilly in Melbourne on New Year’s Eve, with temperatures only reaching a top of 20 degrees on the 31st.

Whilst it is highly unlikely to rain, temperatures will be as low as 14 degrees in the morning, with the wind chill factor making it feel even colder.

The BOM projects it to be cloudy and about 16 degrees at midnight.

That said, it will warm up on New Year’s Day in Melbourne, with temperatures climbing to 25 degrees.

The champagne should be flowing nice and early in Brisbane, with temperatures climbing above 30 degrees in the sunshine state on December 31.

It is set to be mostly sunny, though there will be a bit more cloud about as the day wears on.

The cloud cover could make it a humid and muggy night, with temperatures set to be sitting at around 25 degrees at midnight.

There could also be a bit of rain about on New Year’s Day, with up to four millimetres potentially falling on January 1, 2026.

Western Australia’s capital has just gone through a Christmas heatwave, and it is set to be a scorcher for New Year’s Eve as well.

It will at least be milder at midnight, with temperatures expected to sit at 22 degrees, but it will be warm again on New Year’s Day, with peaks of 35 degrees expected.

It will be partly cloudy but pleasant in Adelaide for New Year’s Eve.

A slightly cool and cloudy morning will give way to sunny skies and temperatures of around 26 degrees in the afternoon.

It will cool again in the evening, dropping to around 15 degrees for the countdown to 2026.

The first day of the new year will be a warm one, with temperatures expected to hit 30 degrees.

It won’t feel too much like summer in Hobart, with a cloudy day for the last day of 2025.

Temperatures won’t even reach the 20s, with a top of 19 degrees expected for New Year’s Eve.

Thankfully, the sun will be out and about a bit more on the first day of 2026, with a top of 22 degrees for Tasmania’s capital.

The nation’s capital could receive some stormy weather to see out 2025.

It will be partly cloudy with a top of 30 degrees in Canberra, with showers potentially turning into storms in the afternoon.

Up to three millimetres of rain may fall, potentially impacting new year’s festivities.

The rain will disappear on New Year’s Day, with a cloudy day with tops of 25 degrees expected.

As expected, it will be hot and humid in Darwin for New Year’s Eve.

It will hit a top of 35 degrees during the day, with showers expected in the afternoon and evening.

Up to 15mm could fall on the 31st, whilst storms could follow on New Year’s Day, with temperatures of 33 degrees and another 15mm of rain potentially facing the city.
