Adelaide is heading into a mostly settled week, with sunny days and a steady warm-up on the way before a wetter change arrives for the weekend. After a cool start to Monday, the city is set for several dry autumn days, with temperatures climbing from the mid-20s to the high 20s by the end of the working week, before showers move in across Saturday and Sunday.
For the rest of Monday, Adelaide can expect the chance of some early fog before a mostly sunny afternoon takes over. Light winds will become easterly later tonight, and the city is forecast to reach 24 degrees. Across the suburbs, tops of 24 degrees are expected for Elizabeth, 23 for Glenelg and Noarlunga, and 21 for Mount Barker, making for a fairly mild day across the metro area.
The settled pattern continues on Tuesday with mostly sunny skies and light winds, alongside a slightly warmer top of 26 degrees in the city. By Wednesday, cloud starts to build a little, with a partly cloudy day forecast and temperatures lifting again to 28 degrees. Winds will become northerly during the morning before easing later in the day, which should help bring a touch more warmth across Adelaide.
Thursday looks similar, with cloud clearing through the day and a top of 28 degrees. Northeasterly winds will tend north to northwesterly during the morning before shifting back northeasterly in the afternoon, but there is still very little chance of rain. Friday is shaping up as the warmest day of the seven-day stretch, with a forecast maximum of 29 degrees. It should begin mostly sunny, though cloud is expected to increase later with a slight chance of a shower by the end of the day.
The bigger shift arrives over the weekend. Saturday is expected to turn noticeably wetter, with a very high chance of showers and possible rainfall of 1 to 10 millimetres. Northerly winds of 20 to 30 km/h will add to the unsettled feel, while temperatures drop back to 25 degrees. Sunday stays cool and damp, with showers again likely and possible rainfall of 2 to 15 millimetres. A maximum of 19 degrees will make it the coolest day of the outlook, a sharp change after the run of warm and mostly sunny conditions earlier in the week.
Across broader South Australia, the story for the first half of the week is dry and increasingly warm. Maximum temperatures are expected to sit slightly below average at first, then rise above average through midweek, before reaching well above average levels on Thursday. Rainfall is expected to be negligible statewide through to Thursday, with generally less than 1 mm and no meaningful falls forecast. Conditions will also become breezier in the west by Thursday afternoon as northeast to northerly winds strengthen.
