WEATHER, SEASONS, NATURAL DISASTER

Weekly weather from the Bureau of Meteorology: Sunday 8 October, 2023

 G'day Sarah from the Bureau with your weekly wrap

 

for Sunday the 8th of October.

 

The past week saw devasting flood impacts

 

for agriculture across parts of eastern Victoria,

 

however, away from the floodwaters

 

rainfall was a welcomed relief for many farmers

 

across the southeast

 

 following the driest September on record.

 

 For today, a frosty start in the southeast,

 

followed by a mostly dry and clear day,

 

thanks to a high to our south

 

that has allowed floodwater to recede.

 

Showers and storms developing

 

across parts of western Queensland.

 

Heat building across southwest WA.

 

Showers for the Queensland and New South Wales coasts.

 

On Monday, a frosty start for inland areas of the southeast.

 

Showers and storms becoming more widespread

 

over western Queensland,

 

and extending southwards into northwest New South Wales,

 

as that inland trough deepens.

 

Hit and miss storms may be slow moving

 

and produce localised heavy bursts of rain.

 

On Tuesday, showers and storms continuing

 

through southern Queensland and inland northern New South Wales,

 

with showers extending into eastern New South Wales as well.

 

Dry lightning for southern parts of WA,

 

ahead of a showery cold front pushing across the southwest.

 

Isolated showers for the Queensland east coast.

 

Warm conditions extending across the south on Wednesday,

 

in the north-westerlies ahead of the front.

 

Isolated showers for northeast New South Wales,

 

the tropical Queensland coast and south coast of WA.

 

On Thursday, hot, dry and windy across the southeast

 

ahead of a cold front shifting cooler south-westerly

 

and bringing showers and storms.

 

Out in the west,

 

a building high will bring settled conditions.

 

For Friday, cool showery conditions continuing

 

for the southeast,

 

while the high will move into the Bight  

bringing mostly dry and clear skies for the remainder.

 

Warming in the west as a heat trough deepens.

 

And that's it for our weekly wrap.

 

We'll see you again next time,

 

bye for now.
