In Lightning Ridge and, more broadly, across New South Wales: This morning, the sky will be mostly sunny with a few clouds, and temperatures will be mild, ranging from 20 degrees Celsius to 23 degrees Celsius. Winds will be coming from the northwest at moderate speeds, peaking around 21 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 66 km/h. There is a potential for light rain during the day, with an average accumulation of approximately 1.7 mm and a high likelihood of rain in some areas. As the afternoon progresses, the weather is expected to remain generally mild and partly cloudy, but the wind may strengthen slightly, and there could still be occasional showers. It’s a good idea to be prepared for some brief rain and gusty conditions, especially later in the day.
