Australia Weather

Severe Tropical Cyclone "Maila" is located well offshore of mainland Australia, currently situated to the east of Papua New Guinea. An upper trough is producing a thick cloud band which stretches through interior parts of Western and South Australia, and down into the country's southeast as well. Storm clouds are embedded within this cloud band through parts of Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia. A strong cold front is moving across Tasmania and western Victoria, bringing extensive low cloud in its wake. Remnant patchy convective cloud can be seen through much of the north of the country. The remainder of the country is mostly cloud free.
