Sunnier skies are forecast for Wednesday, but summer rains are set to return on Thursday.

A yellow gale alert was also issued, the second lowest in a four-tier system. The bureau forecast an 8-level gale was possible within 12 hours with more than 50 millimeters of rain could fall within a three-hour period.
