Skating through January

Lace up the skates and break out the togs as Geelong expects a warm and bright second half of January.

With the weather cranking up and the sun shining bright, it is the perfect time to get out and enjoy everything the Geelong and Bellarine offers.

From festivals to beaches and everything in between, a range of options are available for people to enjoy the nice weather or escape the heat.

The warm weather kicks off on Friday, January 12, with a high of 30 degrees before cooling down to 22 and 23 degrees over the weekend.

The Geelong community can also expect a warmish week next week, with temperatures reaching 25 degrees on Monday and 27 on Tuesday.

Sean and Christelle Whitworth (pictured) are already enjoying Geelong’s nice weather with a day out on the skates at the waterfront.
