A juicy northwest cloudband is transporting moisture from the Indian Ocean down into southern Australia. This system ‘peaked’ in the southwest (with stand out totals of 25 to 50 mm) and is on its way across central parts heading for the east.
If you’re after rain we have great news on the seasonal weather front this week.
The current cold outbreak over the eastern states has one more chance to deliver snow to Queensland on Thursday morning, before the cold pool moves away.
Get ready for the next cold spell with snow heading for QLD. Find out if it will linger like the last one and how it will impact the eastern states.
The weather maps are showing quite a considerable part of the country in store for rain, with the potential for significant falls in western Queensland, western NSW and northern SA - but they’re also showing the potential for handy rain in the southeast in the longer term too. 
The out of season rainfall in Queensland, mentioned here last Wednesday, has arrived. There is rain crossing the southeast, while the next huge system affects the southwest.. and the next big cold outbreak has appeared on the horizon.
In this seasonal update we look at the slow transition of the Pacific Ocean from El Nino to (potentially) La Nina, and try to decipher the very unclear Indian Ocean.
The lengthy cold spell really has settled in for the long haul. In the eastern states both maximum and minimum temperatures are generally running several degrees below the long term average for this time of year. You know it’s chilly when it stretches right up into Queensland with frosty mornings on the Darling Downs - but how much longer will it last?
The chill in the air will be a hotly talked about item on the weather agenda if you are in southeastern Australia over the next week, with its frosty tentacles reaching as far north as south to central QLD. Meanwhile, the rain keeps coming for the southwest, and some of that should actually push across SA, reaching western VIC and southwest NSW.
