Sydney is set to endure its seventh wet weekend in a row, as record rainfall continues to hit the city.

While Saturday has only a slight chance of a shower later on in the afternoon or evening according to BOM forecasters, Sunday will see up to 4mm fall.

It's set to be grim news for Monday to Friday workers, amid yet another dry work week.

Plus parents with kids who play sport will also face yet another soggy wait on the sidelines if events are not cancelled.

Bureau of Meteorology Forecaster Jordan Notara confirmed it will be wet again.

"This system is a frontal system. It's typical winterlike weather," he told 9News.com.au.

Notara said it's too soon to say what the following weekend will be like.

May's rainfall in the city and NSW was as much as 300 times more than average in places.

It will be a max of 20 degrees both days, with Saturday set to drop to 8 degrees overnight and Sunday only getting as low as 13 degrees.
