Around 100 millimetres of rain has been forecast to fall across the city between today and Friday.

The heaviest falls are expected today and tomorrow, with 85mm on the cards.

The rain has also brought a much-needed cooler change, with temperatures dropping to around five degrees below average for this time of year.

According to the Weather Bureau, we’re in for a partly cloudy Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday with a medium chance of showers and a top of 27 degrees.

Similar conditions have been forecast for Easter Monday, with some light winds also around.
