Adelaide is set for a fairly comfortable spring week, with sunny skies today giving way to a brief chance of showers early in the working week before cooler southerly air arrives midweek. For locals, that means a pleasant Sunday, a slightly unsettled Monday, and then a run of mostly dry days with temperatures dipping on Wednesday before climbing again toward next weekend.
Today, Adelaide will enjoy sunny conditions and a top of 25 degrees, with easterly winds at 15 to 25km/h keeping things fresh without spoiling the day. It’s a good outdoor weather day across the city and suburbs, from Glenelg to Elizabeth, though the UV will be very high, with sun protection recommended from 9am to 4:50pm.
Monday brings the week’s first small change, with partly cloudy skies and a medium chance of showers in the late morning and afternoon. The city is forecast to reach 28 degrees after an overnight low of 15, so it should still feel warm for much of the day despite the chance of a light shower. Winds will start northeasterly before easing and turning easterly by evening.
By Tuesday, Adelaide looks set to clear again, with mostly sunny conditions and a top of 27 degrees. A notable wind shift is expected during the morning, with northeasterlies moving around to a south to southwesterly change at 25 to 35km/h. That shift will be more noticeable than any rainfall risk, with only a slight chance of rain forecast.
Wednesday will be the coolest day of the seven-day stretch, with a partly cloudy sky, a low of 13 and a top of just 22 degrees. Southerly winds of 20 to 30km/h will keep the air cooler across the metro area, making it feel more like a proper spring change after the warmer start to the week.
From there, conditions improve again. Thursday is shaping up as mostly sunny and milder, with temperatures lifting to 26 degrees after a crisp morning low of 10 degrees. Southeasterly winds will remain in place, but the overall outlook is settled.
Friday sees another slight interruption, with partly cloudy conditions and a medium chance of showers. The forecast top is 26 degrees, with only light rainfall totals expected if anything does fall. Winds will turn from east to southeasterly before shifting south to southwesterly during the day.
Saturday rounds out the week with partly cloudy skies and just a slight chance of a shower. Light winds will become southeast to southwesterly during the morning, while temperatures edge up to 27 degrees, making for a fairly pleasant lead-in to the weekend.
Across the rest of South Australia, the weather is more active, especially away from the coast. A weak low and trough moving in from Western Australia will bring possible showers and thunderstorms to parts of the west today, with that activity spreading into the pastoral districts and some agricultural areas on Monday and Tuesday. The far north, northwest and some inland districts have the best chance of seeing useful rainfall, while much of the state is expected to record less than 2mm through to Wednesday. Temperatures will vary sharply depending on the change, with above-average heat lingering in the east and far north at times, while cooler conditions spread through western and central districts behind southerly winds. For Adelaide’s coastal waters, conditions remain relatively manageable overall, though Tuesday and Wednesday will turn choppier as southerly winds strengthen and seas build to 1 to 2 metres.
