South West District Forecast

View the current warnings for Victoria

Forecast issued at 4:15 pm EST on Monday 5 June 2023.

Weather Situation

A high pressure centre to the south west of Tasmania is directing a northeasterly airflow over the State, which will tend more northerly on Tuesday ahead of an approaching trough associated with a low south of the Bight. The trough will enter Victoria later on Wednesday and track eastwards, closely followed by a cold front, and the whole system will clear State by late Thursday. A cooler westerly airstream is expected on Friday as a new ridge builds over the north and a weak front sweeps through Bass Strait.

Forecast for the rest of Monday

Cloudy. High chance of showers about the ranges, medium chance elsewhere. Winds northeasterly 15 to 25 km/h.

Tuesday 6 June

Partly cloudy. Very high chance of showers in the north, medium chance elsewhere. Winds northeasterly 20 to 30 km/h turning northerly during the morning. Overnight temperatures falling to around 12 with daytime temperatures reaching between 16 and 19.
