Adelaide is in for a mixed bag of weather over the coming week, with mild temperatures, clouds, and a few passing showers before warmer conditions return by the weekend.
Today will begin under mostly cloudy skies, with a slight chance of early showers across the metropolitan area. Southeasterly winds will keep conditions cool, with temperatures reaching 24 degrees. Overnight, the temperature is expected to settle around 18 degrees as the city heads into a slightly wetter midweek.
Cloud cover will stick around tomorrow, with patchy showers likely through the morning and afternoon. Despite the gloomy outlook, temperatures will lift slightly, reaching a top of around 27 degrees. Winds are expected to shift from easterly to southeasterly throughout the day, bringing occasional cooler breezes.
By Thursday, Adelaide will see partly cloudy skies as the unsettled midweek pattern begins to ease. Southeasterly winds will remain in the mix, but temperatures are forecast to rise modestly, reaching around 28 degrees during the afternoon.
Friday will bring similar conditions, with partly cloudy skies and the slight possibility of a passing shower. Daytime temperatures will stay around 27 degrees, keeping conditions comfortable as the city moves toward a brighter weekend outlook.
A change arrives on Saturday as sunshine returns, bringing clearer skies and pleasant conditions across the city. Temperatures are expected to reach around 27 degrees under mostly sunny skies.
Sunday continues the warming trend, with bright conditions and a forecast top of 28 degrees expected across Adelaide.
Looking ahead to the start of the following week, Monday is shaping up to be the warmest day of the stretch. Clear skies and calm conditions are expected to push temperatures up to around 30 degrees, delivering a classic late-summer day across the city.
While Adelaide’s weather remains relatively settled, conditions further north across South Australia are far more volatile. Heavy rainfall across the state’s northern regions has heightened the risk of flash flooding, particularly across the North East and North West Pastoral districts.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, elevated river levels continue along the Warburton River at Poothapootha Waterhole, while renewed rises are expected along the lower Cooper Creek near Innamincka as upstream floodwaters arrive from Queensland.
Heavy rainfall could impact parts of the North East Pastoral and North West Pastoral districts, with communities including Marla, Moomba, Oodnadatta, Marree, Innamincka and Dalhousie Springs potentially affected. Emergency services remain on alert as rising river levels and flooded roads could isolate some remote communities in the coming days.
Happy Tuesday!
