Energetic cold fronts will sweep through SA's southeast, Tas, Vic, and eastern NSW, delivering a mix of strong, gusty winds and showers—some of which will come down as snow over the Alps and Tasmanian highlands. Meanwhile, a front will make its way to southwest WA, dribbling in some late showers. Up north, high pressure ensures it remains hot and largely dry, because apparently, it’s too busy to bother with rain.

National 4 Day Forecast

Windy.com NEW ACCESS 4 Day Accumulated Rain and Synoptic


Wednesday: expect things to be pretty clear and warmer than you'd expect for this time of year in most parts of the state. Some isolated showers might try to crash the party along the east coast north of Carmila, but they'll mainly hang out near the Cassowary and Daintree coasts, as well as the east Peninsula coast. Oh, and watch out for some scattered showers and potential thunderstorms in southeast Queensland, especially just a bit inland from the coast. Winds will be mainly coming from the east to northeast, keeping things breezy, although they might get a little indecisive down in the southwest.

Thursday: the state will be bathed in sunshine and unusually warm temperatures that will leave you questioning if it's really winter. Expect a slight chance of showers along the east coast above Carmila, with some areas like the Cassowary and Daintree coasts, as well as the east Peninsula coast, possibly seeing a bit more rain. It will be pleasantly toasty in the southern interior below Townsville and in the southeastern parts, while the rest of the state will be feeling above-average heat levels. So, get ready to sweat it out a bit more than usual!

Friday: It's gonna be like summer in winter for most of the state, folks! Picture this: the sun is shining bright and it's surprisingly warm out there. Don't forget your sunscreen! Expect a few isolated showers along the east coast above Proserpine, with a chance of scattered showers around the Cassowary and Daintree coasts, as well as the east Peninsula coast. Temps are hitting the roof in the south, especially below Townsville and down southeast – we're talking above average, even nearing record-breaking highs. It's gonna be a sizzlin' day, so stay cool out there!

Saturday: It's like someone turned up the heat in Queensland today! Expect plenty of sunshine and warmer-than-usual temperatures across the state. There might be a few isolated showers along the east coast north of Townsville to keep things interesting. The interior south of Townsville and the southeast are feeling the heat big time, with temperatures soaring well above average. In fact, some areas are even flirting with record-breaking daytime highs. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the state, temperatures are also on the warmer side. Stay cool, Queenslanders!coast above Proserpine, and around the Cassowary and Daintree coasts, as well as the east Peninsula coast. Temperatures are shooting up, especially south of Townsville and in the southeast - almost breaking records! Everywhere else is just feeling a bit above average.

So, like, this big pressure system up north is like "Check me out!" and it's sending a fancy ridge over to the eastern side of the state. Then the system will be like, "Okay, gotta go east now." There's this trough thingy that's planning to swoop across the southern interior on Wednesday and then visit South East Queensland on Thursday. Another trough might make an appearance in the southwest by Friday and travel over the southern interior on Saturday, eventually reaching South East Queensland on Sunday. And get this – there will be these winds coming from the north before each trough arrives, which will keep things unusually warm across most of the state for the next week.
