Monsoon Update

With Ex TC Lincoln officially dying, we now shift back to phase 6 where the monsoon has reversed as was picked up by our Long Range Forecast. The MJO chart is something we focus on a lot with the monsoon, it shows where the monsoon is most active, and gives you an idea on where it will move to next and how intense. We see most of the precipitation on the model below over the NT and QLD. And we should see it go back further to WA/NT phase 5 in a few weeks, but not after we see more rain around the Gulf towards the end of the month.



National

Showers and storms in northeast NSW, QLD, and the northern tropics. Storms and heavy rain affecting WA. Warm and dry conditions prevail over much of SA, VIC, and NSW due to high pressure. Brisk winds and a few showers expected in TAS, and possibly southern VIC, associated with a cold front.

State

Northern Queensland will have showers and storms due to an upper trough and humid airmass. A ridge will form in southeastern Queensland on Monday, then spread north to central Queensland by Tuesday. A southeasterly wind surge will increase rainfall in the Central Coast and Whitsundays on Tuesday and Wednesday, moving towards the northern tropics later. Southwest Queensland will see a new trough later in the week, possibly reaching central Queensland by the weekend.
