A Bright and Breezy Start

Albury residents are set to wake up to a stunning summer morning this Sunday, February 15, 2026. The day will begin with clear, crisp skies as the sun rises at approximately 6:43 AM. Early morning temperatures are expected to sit at a comfortable 17°C, providing the perfect window for outdoor exercise or a visit to the local markets before the heat of the day truly sets in. A light breeze from the northeast, moving at roughly 8 to 12 km/h, will offer a gentle start to what promises to be a warm afternoon.

Sizzling Afternoon Peaks

As the day progresses, Albury will see a steady climb in mercury. By mid-afternoon, temperatures are predicted to reach a high of 31°C. While the morning will remain mostly clear, the Bureau of Meteorology indicates the possibility of increasing cloudiness later in the afternoon. Despite these scattered clouds, there is a zero percent chance of rain throughout the daylight hours, meaning outdoor plans and community events can proceed without the threat of a sudden downpour. Humidity levels will remain relatively low, hovering around 36% to 41%, making the heat feel dry rather than oppressive.

Pleasant Evening Cooldown

As the sun begins to set at 8:08 PM, the intense heat of the day will gradually dissipate. Evening temperatures are expected to settle into a pleasant range of 26°C to 27°C, making it an ideal night for alfresco dining or a stroll along the Murray River. The skies are forecasted to clear up again overnight, with the minimum temperature eventually dropping back down to 17°C by the early hours of Monday morning. Winds will remain light and variable, shifting slightly toward the west-southwest as the evening progresses.

Essential Safety and Weather Notices

While the weather is ideal for summer activities, residents should take note of the following safety considerations for Sunday:

  • UV Alert: The UV Index is forecasted to reach a 'High' level of 7. Sun protection is strongly recommended between 9:30 AM and 5:10 PM. Residents should wear hats, apply SPF 30+ sunscreen, and seek shade during the middle of the day.
  • Hydration: With temperatures hitting 31°C, staying hydrated is essential, especially for those planning to spend extended time outdoors.
  • Fire Safety: Given the dry conditions and low humidity, the community is urged to remain mindful of local fire safety regulations, though no specific fire bans are currently in place for the immediate Albury area.
  • Wind: No significant wind warnings are in effect, with maximum gusts expected to remain below 33 km/h.
