The Bureau of Metereology has predicted a 100 per cent chance of rain in the ACT this Saturday.

Up to 35 millimetres rainfall is expected, which is good news for anyone who likes dancing in the rain or splashing in puddles.

However, there is the chance of heavy showers, so Canberrans should park their cars in the garage and plan for indoor activities.

Winds are expected to be heading north to northwesterly at 25 to 35 kilometres, easing off in the late evening.

And anyone hoping for a Sunday break best not get hopes up, as BOM has forecast a 90 per cent chance of rain, particularly in the morning and afternoon.

Winds should be heading west to northwesterly at 15 to 20 kilometres per hour during the day.

They'll be tending west to southwesterly at 15 to 25 kilometres per hour during the morning and early afternoon.

Temperatures are predicted to be pretty cool for the start of spring, with Saturday expected to have a minimum of nine degrees and top of 15 degrees Celsius.

Sunday's forecast suggests temperatures between four and 13 degrees.

Mornings over the next week will remain cool, with temperatures expected to be as low as minus-three on Tuesday, and zero on Monday and Wednesday.
