Australia Weather

Under the effects of a high pressure system situated over southern New South Wales, a thick blanket of low level cloud is visible over southern New South Wales, eastern South Australia, and Victoria. A low pressure trough offshore of the Queensland coastline is generating massive area of thick low to mid level cloud through eastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales. Further north, moist southeasterly trade flow is generating patchy low cloud over the tropical east coast, parts of the Cape York Peninsula, and the Top End. A thick sheet of mid to upper level cloud obscures the southwestern corner of Western Australia, along with some streaks of the same cloud further east in central parts of South Australia. This is due to a prominent upper level trough in the Southern Ocean, along with a cold front crossing over the country's west coast. The remainder of the country is cloud free.
