Despite it still being winter in Australia, the weather has been anything but typical. In fact, temperatures have been soaring in some parts while others are experiencing a cool change. This unusual situation has caught the attention of many, including the Bureau of Meteorology.
In South Australia, Oodnadatta has reached a scorching 39.3 degrees, while in Western Australia, the town of Wyndham in the northern Kimberly has seen temperatures of 38.7 degrees. The BoM has stated that this unseasonal warmth is affecting central and eastern Australia this weekend and may even continue into next week for some areas.
The state of Queensland has also been impacted by this unusual weather pattern. In fact, some areas came very close to breaking the August temperature record. The interior and southeast have been experiencing above-average temperatures, while the southwest has seen near-record warmth for the month of August. The BoM has noted that this is highly unusual as August is usually when we start to see the weather transitioning into spring.
Despite this, tomorrow is expected to be a sunny and warm day across the majority of Queensland. In Sydney, temperatures have been around 27 degrees, while Melbourne has seen a cooler 21 degrees. However, things are about to change as cold fronts are forecasted for Victoria and southern NSW on Sunday. These fronts could bring damaging winds and severe thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, in Western Australia, a strong cold front has already begun to move through the southern parts of the state. This comes after some areas experienced unseasonal highs earlier today. The next few days are expected to have strong winds, showers, and gusty storms, making for a wild weather experience. It's safe to say that this winter in Australia has been anything but ordinary.
