Australia Weather

A patchy sheet of cloud covers much of the country's tropical north, due to a monsoon trough running through the Top End and Cape York. Thick storm cloud surrounds embedded tropical lows along this trough. A trough extends over the central coast of Queensland, bringing a line of thick cloud to the region. Further south, scattered cloud covers northeast New South Wales. An area of middle level cloud lies over the Sydney/Hunter region. Low cloud persists over much of the country's southeast coast, from moist onshore flow. Scattered cloud is over Tasmania due to a weakening cold front. The centre of the country is mostly cloud free.
