Late Evening Showers Expected as Albury Swelters Through a Hot Monday

Rising Temperatures and Late-Day Changes

Albury residents should prepare for a significant rise in temperatures today, Monday, 9 February 2026, as a warm air mass settles over the Border region. While the day will start with relatively clear skies, weather models indicate a shift in the evening that could bring relief in the form of late-day showers. As the work week begins, the local forecast suggests a mix of intense summer heat followed by a cooler change as we head into the night.

Morning: A Bright Start for Commuters

The morning is expected to begin with pleasant and stable conditions, featuring a sunrise at 6:37 am. Early temperatures will sit at a comfortable 19°C (67°F), providing an ideal window for outdoor exercise or the morning school run. Cloud cover will be sparse throughout the early hours, though some high-level clouds may begin to filter in by mid-morning. There are no immediate rain threats for the morning hours, making for a dry and bright start to the day for those heading into the CBD.

Afternoon: Peak Heat and Sun Safety

By the middle of the day, Albury will see its maximum temperature climb to approximately 34°C (93°F). This peak heat will be accompanied by a moderate UV index of 5. While not as extreme as the levels often seen in mid-January, residents are still advised to seek shade and apply sunscreen during the peak hours of 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Specific details for the afternoon include:

• Maximum Temperature: 34°C (93°F)
• Humidity: Dropping to approximately 38%
• Wind: Light southerly breezes at 11 km/h (7 mph)
• Conditions: Mostly sunny with increasing cloud cover late in the day

Evening: Late Showers and Overnight Cooling

As the sun sets at 8:14 pm, the atmospheric conditions are expected to shift. Current predictions show a 24% chance of precipitation occurring late in the evening. While no significant rainfall totals are anticipated—with estimates around 1.2 mm (0.05 inches)—passing showers could dampen local roads. These late showers are a precursor to a slightly more humid night, with temperatures eventually settling back down to around 19°C. No severe weather warnings for wind or thunderstorms are currently in effect for the Albury-Wodonga area, but residents should remain aware of potential damp patches on the roads during the late-night commute.
