Bright Skies and Balmy Breezes: Albury’s Perfect Friday Forecast

Albury residents are set to enjoy a quintessential summer day this Friday, February 13, 2026. As the region settles into the heart of February, the latest meteorological data indicates a day defined by consistent sunshine, stable temperatures, and a complete absence of precipitation. Whether you are planning a walk along the Murray River or heading out for a local lunch, the weather is certainly on your side today.

Morning: A Crisp and Clear Start

The day begins with a refreshing coolness, as overnight lows reached approximately 13°C. Early risers would have seen the sun peek over the horizon at 6:41 AM, illuminating a cloudless sky. Conditions in the early hours are ideal for outdoor exercise or morning commutes, with light south-easterly winds at about 11 km/h providing a gentle wake-up call. Humidity levels remain comfortable at the start of the day, hovering around 26% to 33%, ensuring a dry and pleasant atmosphere for the morning rush.

Afternoon: Peak Sunshine and Summer Heat

As we move into the afternoon, the temperature will climb steadily to a pleasant maximum of 29°C. This peak is expected between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM. While this is typical for an Albury February, the lack of cloud cover means the sun will be quite direct throughout the day. Residents should take note of the following conditions for the midday period:

  • Maximum Temperature: 29°C
  • UV Index: 7 (High) - Sun protection is highly recommended between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
  • Wind: South-easterly breezes continuing at 11-15 km/h, with occasional gusts reaching up to 22 km/h.
  • Rainfall: 0% chance of rain; dry conditions persist across the border region.

Evening: A Mild Night Ahead

The sunset at 8:10 PM will signal the start of a very comfortable evening for the Albury-Wodonga community. Temperatures are expected to drop back into the high teens by mid-evening, eventually settling at an overnight low of 13°C. The sky will remain clear throughout the night, making it an excellent opportunity for stargazing or evening outdoor dining. Winds will remain light, shifting slightly but staying around the 15 km/h mark from the south-east, preventing the night from feeling stagnant.

Safety and Health Reminders

With the UV index reaching a High level of 7, the albury.news team reminds everyone to follow sun-safe practices. Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, and slap on a hat if you are spending extended periods outdoors. Additionally, while 29°C is not record-breaking, the dry air can lead to dehydration, so keep a water bottle handy. There are currently no active wind or rain warnings for the area, but the dry conditions serve as a reminder to remain mindful of local fire safety guidelines during the summer peak.
