THE official Adelaide weather forecast for Christmas Day is here.

The Bureau of Meteorology forecast for December 25 says Adelaide will be 29C with a few showers.

It says there will be a medium (60 per cent) chance of showers, with 1-8mm expected. Winds will be northerly 15 to 25km/h shifting west to southwesterly 25 to 40km/h during the morning.

Adelaide won’t be the only city to cop some unseasonal showers on Christmas Day.

In Sydney, it will be 26C with a possible shower and in Melbourne 31C with a shower or two developing.

Meanwhile, the record-breaking heatwave will continue tomorrow with a forecast top of 44C in Adelaide.

This could be followed by showers and possibly a thunderstorm — along with dramatically cooler temperatures — on Sunday.

After a few days of relief from this week’s scorching temperatures, the heat in Adelaide will kick it up a notch from Wednesday (December 23), when it will be around 35C and sunny.

On Christmas Eve, it will be 39C and partly cloudy.

SATURDAY DEC 19: Very hot. Max 44C, Min 28C.

SUNDAY DEC 20: Shower or two, possible storm. Max 26C, Min 20C.
