Forecast for scorching heat before severe thunderstorms and rain

Isabel Mcmillan - DailyMail - 28/01
A weekend of hot temperatures is forecast to give way to thunderstorms and rain next week on parts of Australia's east coast - as summer continues to dish up a bit of everything.

Australians have so far been treated to a summer that can't make up its mind, from unseasonably cold days to the more humid, oppressive ones we're more familiar with at this time of year.

That pattern is set to continue as parts of the country will swelter through 30-degree plus days before a new round of heavy thunderstorms and rain.

Here's the forecast near you. 

Sunday will see a high of 30C in Sydney before the chance of rainfall will steadily increase, with and 80 per cent chance of up to 35mm predicted on Monday (pictured, Bondi Beach)
