Spring Weather to Bring Heat for Some Cities, Rain for Others

At AusNewsLanka, we aim to keep the Australian community informed with timely updates.

Australia’s in for a real split when it comes to weather this week — cool and wet in the south, but warm to downright hot in the east and north.

According to Weatherzone, it all comes down to a developing negative southern annular mode, or SAM. Basically, that’s when the belt of westerly winds sitting between Australia and Antarctica shifts a bit further north. In spring, that usually means more rain and cold fronts hitting southern Australia, while the north and east end up with drier, warmer conditions.

And you can really see the difference when you look at the capital city forecasts. Sydney and Brisbane are in for plenty of sunshine, with Sydney sitting in the high 20s before cooling slightly into the mid-20s later in the week. Brisbane, on the other hand, will be sweltering — most days hitting 30 degrees or above, and a scorching 35 on Thursday.

Down south, it’s a totally different story. Melbourne and Adelaide are bracing for rainy days, and it doesn’t look like the mercury will climb past 20 degrees until at least the weekend.

Meanwhile, the north is gearing up for some serious heat. Parts of the Kimberley, Pilbara, and Top End could see temperatures soar into the low 40s. Weatherzone says this might end up being the hottest spell of weather Australia has seen so far this spring.
