Weekly Weather Outlook

Of note, we have some incredibly warm temperatures on the way for much of eastern Australia, with Queensland and northern NSW expecting multiple days in a row of very warm conditions.

There are also multiple fronts rolling through the southern states, bringing strong winds on and off throughout the week. However, there will be very little rain behind many of these systems for most areas.

We also take a look at the spring forecast. The outlook is pointing towards a very warm spring ahead, with drier conditions across much of south-east Australia potentially drying out the landscape ahead of the peak bushfire season. Much of south-east Australia is likely to see below-average rainfall, while there are signs of an earlier-than-usual start to the wet season across northern WA.

There’s plenty more detail in this week’s video.

Stay safe, have a great week!
