What temperatures to expect this week

It's Parkes Elvis Festival week and that means it's about to heat up on stage and in the sun.

While it won't be anywhere near as hot as we're used to at this time of year, temperatures are still predicted to be in the low 30s for the rest of the week with a chance of a few showers and storms.

On Thursday, temperatures are expected to reach 30 degrees so make sure to visit the three open gardens during the morning and find a shady spot at the train station to welcome visitors off of the Elvis Express in the afternoon.

On Friday the temperature is predicted to reach 30 degrees providing the perfect time to visit the festival markets and walk down Festival Boulevard in the morning and cool off with some amazing entertainment at a local pub or club.

There's a 60 per cent chance of a late shower.

Saturday will also be 30 degrees so make sure to find a shady spot to watch the Elvis Parade in the morning before enjoying the junior and senior look-a-like competitions in Cooke Park in the afternoon.

There is a 70 per cent chance of showers and a possible thunderstorm.

Sunday sees a top of 32 degrees and a 80 per cent chance of late showers and thunder so there is no chance of the weather dampening the morning's Gospel Service.

Make sure to pack a water bottle and wear your sunscreen this festival.

Keep an eye out as water will be for sale in the main street and in local shops to make sure you stay hydrated among the heat and enjoy the 2025 Parkes Elvis Festival.
