Cold comfort for Brumbies, Raiders fans The Brumbies and Raiders fans heading to Canberra Stadium on Saturday and Sunday are set to be greeted by the year’s coldest weekend.
The Brumbies host the capital’s first final since 2004 on Sunday, and duty forecaster Magdalena Galos-Lorenc said despite this morning’s forecast for 8 degrees, the temperature may nudge a little higher.
“The maximum temperatures for Saturday, Sunday and Monday are likely to be 9 or 10 [degrees],” she said.
“It’s looking that it will be quite cloudy on Friday and Saturday afternoon, that is why the forecast should be a little warmer [than predicted].”
The Bureau of Meteorology’s website still shows a predicted 7 degree maximum for Saturday, which if accurate would be the coldest daily peak of 2013.
The Raiders take on Parramatta on Saturday afternoon, with the temperature likely to be a couple of degrees below the day’s top by the 5.30pm kick-off.
