Showers, Windy on NSW Coast, Dry Conditions Elsewhere

Elsewhere, a very large high-pressure system over Western Australia will bring cooler and showery conditions through Tasmania, Victoria, and southern South Australia. This system will also drive cooler air well up into northern Australia, leading to below-average temperatures for much of the country.

In Queensland, sunshine will return for many inland areas, although coastal regions may see a few clouds and slightly cooler conditions compared to yesterday. Temperatures along the coast will still be warm, in the mid to high 20s, rising to the low to mid 30s in the north. Southern and western areas will be much cooler with southerly winds. A lovely day is expected in southeast Queensland, with Brisbane forecast to be sunny and 25°C.

In New South Wales and the ACT, heavy rainfall is expected from the Hunter through Sydney and into the Illawarra area, with Severe Weather Warnings in place for heavy rain. Strong and gusty winds are likely around the northern and Central Tablelands. The low will move away during the day, but windy and showery conditions will linger along the coast. Inland areas will start to dry out. Temperatures will be cool, ranging from the mid to high teens inland and high teens along the coast. Sydney will be showery and windy with a high of 18°C, and Canberra can expect a few showers and 15°C.

Victoria will see lingering showers and rain in the east, with southerly winds bringing occasional showers along coastal and mountainous areas.
