Adelaide is in for a varied week of weather, with a few showers today, a brief risk of an early thunderstorm tomorrow, and a run of milder, mostly settled conditions before showers return at the end of the working week.
For Monday, Adelaide will stay partly cloudy with a medium chance of showers developing from late this morning. It’s not shaping up as a washout, but you may want the umbrella close by if you’re heading out through the afternoon. The city is forecast to reach 27 degrees, with northeasterly winds easing and turning easterly by evening. Tuesday looks brighter overall, although there is the chance of a thunderstorm in the early morning, likely with little or no rainfall. After that, the day should clear to sunshine, with a top of 27 degrees before a southerly to southwesterly change moves through in the afternoon.
That midweek change will be felt more noticeably on Wednesday, when Adelaide cools right down to 22 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Southerly winds will keep things fresh, especially later in the day, making it feel quite different from the warmer start to the week. By Thursday, sunshine returns and so does a lift in temperature, with a crisp morning low of 10 degrees followed by a sunny top of 26.
Friday brings another shift, with cloud building and a medium chance of showers across Adelaide. The Bureau is forecasting a shower or two and up to 3mm, with temperatures still reaching 27 degrees. The weekend then looks fairly comfortable rather than dramatic. Saturday should be partly cloudy with just a slight chance of a morning shower and a top of 27, while Sunday eases back to 25 degrees with partly cloudy skies and a slight chance of another passing shower.
Across South Australia, conditions are more unsettled, particularly through the north, west and far north. A low pressure system and trough moving across the state today and into Tuesday is bringing the chance of showers and thunderstorms to broad areas, including the Eyre Peninsula, northern districts and central parts before clearing east. Temperatures are generally running above average in many districts, though cooler conditions are expected in the southwest and later across western and southern agricultural areas as the change moves through. By Wednesday and Thursday, showers and thunderstorms remain possible in the west and far north, with the far west becoming more likely to see activity later Thursday. Rainfall totals are mostly expected to stay modest, but parts of the west, north and agricultural areas could pick up 2 to 5mm, with 5 to 15mm possible in the west and far north and isolated heavier thunderstorm falls of 10 to 20mm. Coastal conditions will also become more blustery, with a Strong Wind Warning issued for Spencer Gulf on Tuesday, while Adelaide metropolitan waters are expected to turn choppier from Tuesday afternoon as southerly winds strengthen.
Strong Wind Warning for the following area:
Spencer Gulf
Extreme Fire Danger is forecast for the following fire weather district: West Coast
