Hello, it’s Angus here at the Bureau. Today is the 11th of the 11th, and this is the national weather forecast for Wednesday.
It will be a cool start but a fine day across the eastern mainland, with a high-pressure area settling in and bringing sunny skies from Victoria up to Queensland. Further south, windy westerlies and showers for Tasmania. Out to the west, conditions are fine along the coast, but there is a lot of stormy weather over inland parts of the state.
For Queensland, it will be a fine, settled, sunny day for the majority. Temperatures are mostly seasonal, though a little warmer than average for the north-east. That warmth does come with a few showers, some spotty wet weather north of Mackay through the Herbert and Lower Burdekin, as well as up to the north tropical coast but no heavy rain is expected anywhere in the state.
It will be a cold morning for New South Wales and the ACT, with Canberra down to 0 °C. You might have thought those temperatures were behind us for winter, but it will be an icy, frosty start for the Central and Southern Tablelands, the Snowy Mountains and around the ACT. After the cool morning, the good news is a fine, sunny and settled day with barely a puff of wind. A very pleasant 22 °C afternoon is expected in Sydney, with 20 °C the high in Canberra.
A chilly start is also expected for Victoria. We’ve got 0 °C on the map for Wangaratta and 2 °C early in Ballarat, so we will certainly see some frost through the hills and mountains. It will become a mostly fine, bright and sunny afternoon across the state, although a little cloud will linger across southern districts, with one or two light showers possible along the south-western coast from Warrnambool up to Portland. Outside of that corner, it’s a dry day.
Tasmania won’t be as dry. A strong westerly wind flow, a weather pattern common earlier in spring and now making a return, will bring frequent showers to the west and up into the mountains, with possible snow around the mountaintops. A few passing showers will get across to the east and north, including Hobart and Launceston, though totals there will be low. It will be windy across the state, with temperatures stuck in the mid-teens.
In South Australia, a cool and chilly morning is expected from the Eyre Peninsula across to Mount Gambier, including Adelaide. After that, it’s a bright, sunny day with light winds for most areas. Dry and clear conditions will dominate, though a couple of showers and storms may move into the far north-west in the afternoon.
Out to Western Australia, another very fine day is expected along the coastline. It will still be quite warm, although not as warm as Tuesday, and winds will be lighter. Conditions will be fine across both the south and north coasts, but inland there’s a large area of potential thunderstorms. Some may become severe, bringing heavy rain, large hailstones or damaging winds, which could contribute to outback road closures.
And finally, across northern Australia, showers and thunderstorms will develop over WA, particularly the Kimberley and northern interior, where storms may again lead to road closures. In the Northern Territory, a few showers are likely along the Top End coastline, including around Darwin, but there will also be long periods of dry and sunny weather for the capital. Central parts of the country remain warm with clear skies.

Thanks for watching.
