Meteorological recording started in the city in 1872.

The bureau declares the start of autumn after the temperature averages less than 22 degrees for five straight days. The first of those five days is then considered the first day of autumn.
Today the mercury is forecast to range from 21 to 27 degrees with drizzle in some southern areas of the city.
The bureau forecast a pleasant weekend with a mix of sun and clouds.
A strong cold front is predicted to reach the city on Monday, triggering heavy rain and strong winds. Temperatures will drop below 20 degrees on Tuesday, the bureau predicted.
