Sydney
Courtesy of our recent bestie La Niña, powerful winds, storms and rain have been ruling the day for much of the East Coast. It hasn't been much different in the lead-up to December 31, and unfortunately, it appears that our recent run of clear summer days is over for the remainder of the year.
On New Year's Eve, AccuWeather is predicting a rain-filled end to 2023 with temperatures currently predicted to sit around 27 degrees with a 60% chance of rain during the countdown to midnight.

Brisbane
Good news! Just kidding, sorry. But what would a Brisbane summer be without a wild storm or two? When we say there will be a lot of rain, we mean it.
AccuWeather is currently predicting a 75% chance of rain with a 45% chance of thunderstorms throughout the final day of the year.
However, the temperatures are expected to hit up to 29 degrees, with humidity making the air temperature feel closer to 35 degrees, which means you better stock up on sunscreen if you're out and about (in fact, let's just make it a rule of thumb for everyone to wear sunscreen all summer long. Thank you).
