A huge rainmaker is on the move across the country today, and it’s bringing soaking rain, strong winds, and a big drop in temps for most states and territories right into the weekend.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, the major cold front that smashed Western Australia earlier this week — even causing a suspected tornado in Perth — is now pushing its way east, targeting South Australia and the Northern Territory today.
And it doesn’t stop there. By this afternoon and evening, parts of western NSW, Queensland, and Victoria will also start feeling the impact.
Here’s what to expect across the country:
Western Australia: Finally catching a break! A high-pressure system is moving in to settle things down after a wild stretch of storms and chaos.
New South Wales: It’ll be a chilly but mostly sunny day to start, with temps dipping to -5°C in Canberra and topping out around 18°C in Sydney. But western NSW should brace for heavy rain and strong winds this afternoon, spreading east on Saturday.
Victoria: Western regions could see up to 25mm of rain later today — welcome news for drought-hit areas. Melbourne is in for a cold and windy day, with a top of just 14°C.
Queensland: A warm one! Temps will get close to 30°C, but patchy rain and storms are on the way for the west and southwest later in the day.
South Australia: It’s the state to watch today — heavy rain and powerful winds are expected across large parts of the state.
Tasmania: Staying cool and cloudy for now, but the rain will move in Friday night.
Northern Territory: Expect widespread rain throughout the day, especially across central and southern parts.
Oh, and multiple weather warnings are already in place — so if you’re planning anything outdoors, best to check the alerts and keep your umbrella handy.
