Australia Weather

Broad areas of thick storm clouds lie over Northern Queensland, through the Northern Territory and into Western Australia, due to low pressure troughs and moisture through the region driving convection and thunderstorm activity. Patchier mid to upper level cloud is also visible extending away from these areas. Low to mid level cloud persists over much of eastern and southern Queensland due to a high pressure ridge driving onshore flow. A trough helping produce thunderstorms up the New South Wales coast into the interior, with areas of low to mid level cloud. Mid to high level cloud can be seen across southern Western Australia and into South Australia. A series of troughs passing over Tasmania is bringing low to mid level cloud to the state, as well as to the southeast coast of South Australia and the southern coast of Victoria. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
