The weather in southeastern states has been quite lovely lately, with warm temperatures and a mild breeze. It's been a nice break from the harshness of winter. But unfortunately, this pleasant weather is not here to stay. Today, a dramatic change is expected as fierce winds, rain, and severe thunderstorms are forecasted to sweep through the region.
Since Sunday, the temperature has been steadily rising, and even the city of Adelaide is expected to have five consecutive days with temperatures over 20 degrees. However, this warm spell will come to an abrupt end later today as a low-pressure system and associated front make their way through the area.
This weather system will bring cooler temperatures, with Adelaide and Melbourne expecting highs of only 15 degrees tomorrow and on Saturday. The low-pressure system will also bring with it the potential for rain and thunderstorms. The rain is expected to begin in South Australia this afternoon and make its way towards the southeast, affecting Victoria, New South Wales, and the Australian Capital Territory tomorrow and on Saturday.
Forecasters are predicting a significant amount of rainfall, with 20mm to 40mm expected in the next three days across the southeastern mainland, and up to 60mm in western Tasmania. In addition to the rain, severe thunderstorms are also possible, especially in South Australia this afternoon and in New South Wales, the ACT, and Victoria tomorrow. These storms could bring strong winds and even small hail, so it's important to stay safe and be prepared.
The wind, storms, and rain are expected to clear up by the end of the weekend, but not for long. Another strong cold front is approaching the southeast of Australia mid-next week, so it's important to stay vigilant and keep an eye on the weather.
Meanwhile, in Perth, things are about to take a turn for the worse. A blast of late winter weather is predicted to hit the city in the next few days, bringing with it damaging winds, heavy rain, and possibly even thunderstorms. Temperatures are also expected to drop significantly, with the maximum reaching only 15 degrees, which is 3 degrees below the average for this time of year.
So, it looks like the sudden change in weather is not just limited to the southeastern states but is also making its way towards the west. It's essential to stay informed and prepared for any possible storms or other severe weather conditions. Let's hope for a quick end to this wild weather and a return to more enjoyable conditions.
