Weekly weather: Showers along east coast and in WA warm dry elsewhere

BOM

G’day from the bureau for Sunday, the 20th of September. After a dry week for much of the country last week. Unfortunately for those looking for rain this week, it’s going to be another warm, dry and hot one for many.

Today it will be a warm to hot and windy one in south eastern Australia, leading to elevated fire dangers in Tasmania and parts of New South Wales. Elsewhere it will be dry, warm to hot and sunny, with the only wet weather. Just bring a few showers in southwest WA and in Tasmania and southern Victoria, with a cold front moving through.

Monday will see isolated showers develop around the New South Wales coast and continue across much of Tasmania, but clearing coastal parts of Victoria with a much cooler day on the way. Otherwise, a large high pressure system will bring dry, warm and sunny weather to much of the country. Showers and thunderstorms will develop through inland parts of WA on Tuesday, mainly east of the wheat belt, with showers also about the New South Wales coast and parts of the Queensland coast as well, with dry, warm and sunny weather elsewhere.

Wednesday will see showers along much of the New South Wales and Queensland coast, with onshore winds there with isolated showers and thunderstorms also developing through inland and southern parts of WA, with dry weather elsewhere. Showers will continue along much of the east coast on Thursday with onshore winds. With showers also across inland parts of WA and through parts of south west Victoria, Tasmania and WA, with those fronts moving through.

Friday will see heat increase across much of south, east and Australia, with well above average temperatures, with showers continuing across eastern Queensland but mostly clearing in New South Wales. While over in WA a low pressure system developing will bring widespread showers, rain and thunderstorms to southern and southwestern WA. And that’s it for our weekly wrap. We’ll see you again next Sunday.
