Get ready to rug up—a wintry blast is on its way, and it’s about to hit much of southern and western Australia over the next several days.
A complex low-pressure system is sweeping across the country starting today and is expected to stick around until mid-next week, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and even snow in some areas.
Western Australia is first in the firing line. Today and tomorrow, the state will be hit with rain and thunderstorms, with 20mm to 50mm of rainfall expected in Perth and surrounding areas. Further inland, lighter rain will push into the Gascoyne and Pilbara districts.
By Sunday through Wednesday, the system shifts eastward, heading towards Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, bringing similar wet and windy conditions.
In Adelaide, expect a bit of a rollercoaster: a high of 22°C on Sunday, but cooling down to just 15°C by Tuesday.
Sydney will feel the chill too—starting in the low to mid-20s on Tuesday, then dipping to 18°C by Wednesday.
One of the biggest impacts will be in the Murray-Darling Basin on Tuesday, where widespread rain is expected thanks to a burst of pre-frontal moisture. And yes, some of that will fall as snow and hail over southern parts of the region.
The good news? The wintry blast won’t last too long. Warmer weather is expected to bounce back once the system passes later next week.
Authorities are likely to issue severe weather warnings ahead of the front, so keep an eye on local alerts—and maybe keep that umbrella and jacket close by.
