If you live along the NSW east coast it’s a good time to get out the dehumidifiers with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting another week of rain.

Casting forward to Sunday, Weatherzone has reported a possible rainfall total of up to 70mm, which could be as high as 100mm in some coastal areas.

The week has kicked off on a damp note this Monday, with light rain and overcast conditions expected to persist through the morning and daytime temperatures will reach a high of 22°C, dipping to 16°C overnight.

Tuesday continues the grey trend, with mostly cloudy conditions and a 80 per cent chance of afternoon rain while temperatures will hover around 21°C during the day and drop to 14°C in the evening.

A brief reprieve from the wet weather is forecast for Wednesday, offering Sydneysiders a glimpse of sunshine as the mercury is set to climb to a pleasant 23°C, with overnight lows of 14°C — making it the warmest day of the week.
