This week, the entire country of Australia is expected to experience a heavy amount of rain. The reason for this sudden change in weather is due to a high-pressure system, known as a "blocking high-pressure pattern", finally breaking down after months of keeping the rain at bay in certain areas of the country. According to Weatherzone, this stubborn system near southern Australia has been responsible for keeping parts of the country dry for the past two months.
However, with its dissolution, a low-pressure system will combine with tropical moisture, resulting in rain sweeping across the country from west to east. This weather system also brings with it the potential for thunderstorms, hail, and even snow. It's a welcomed change for many, as the drought-stricken areas of the country are in desperate need of precipitation.
The wet weather will mainly affect Western Australia until Wednesday, before moving across central and southern Australia on Thursday and reaching the east by Friday and into the weekend. While every state and territory will receive some amount of rain, forecast models differ on the exact amount that will fall.
According to Weatherzone, up to 80% of Australia could potentially receive a drenching, especially with the possibility of a second rainy system hitting Western Australia over the weekend. This will bring much-needed relief to the dry and parched land.
