Particularly intense thunderstorm activity is associated with Ex-Tropical Cyclone "Gillian" over Cape York Peninsula and also with Tropical Cyclone "Hadi" over the Coral Sea east of Ayr.
Areas of cloud over WA are the remnants of overnight thinderstorm activity. Cloud over southern SA and Victoria is associated with a surface trough and a cold front can be seen over waters south of the Great Australian Bight.
