Adelaide is set for a mild start to the week before a run of showers, gusty winds and cooler temperatures settles in from Tuesday, with the city’s seven-day outlook leaning much more wintry by the weekend.
Monday is the pick of the week for anyone keen to get outside. Adelaide is heading for a mostly sunny day and a top of 21 degrees, with only patchy morning fog around the hills and southern suburbs before conditions clear.
By Tuesday, a cold front brings the first real change. Adelaide should start with a mostly sunny morning, but showers are expected to build through the afternoon and evening as northerly winds strengthen to 25 to 35 km/h before swinging westerly later in the day. The city is still forecast to reach 22 degrees, so it won’t feel especially cold at first, but it will become much more blustery as the change moves through.
Wednesday shows that cooler shift more clearly. Cloud cover will stick around, with a medium chance of showers and a much lower top of 16 degrees. Southwesterly winds turning westerly during the morning will help keep things brisk, making it feel like spring is arriving with a proper reminder that winter is only just behind us.
Thursday stays unsettled, with a high chance of showers, especially in the morning and afternoon, although temperatures recover slightly to 18 degrees.
The wettest spell of the week is shaping up for Friday. Showers are very likely, with Adelaide forecast to pick up between 2 and 10 mm of rain, and temperatures climbing to 21 degrees.
Saturday swings cooler again, with a top of 17 degrees and a high chance of showers. Northwesterly winds shifting westerly in the morning will keep the air moving, and while rainfall totals are not expected to be especially heavy, it’s another day that looks patchy, grey and damp rather than washout territory all day.
Sunday rounds out the week under cloudy skies, with a medium chance of showers and a top of 17 degrees. Winds are expected to move between northwest, northeast and west to northwesterly through the day, keeping conditions fairly unsettled. Overall, Adelaide’s week starts bright, then slides into a classic run of early spring weather: quick-moving systems, regular showers, windy spells and noticeable temperature swings.
