Australia Weather

Tropical moisture is being dragged southward by a low situated in on the southern border of South Australia and New South Wales, bringing patchy low to high level cloud cover to much of inland Australia. A trough extending from the low towards into is assisting in the formation of widespread thick cloud cover across Victoria and most of New South Wales, while an approaching cold front and trough is bringing further thick cloud cover to Tasmania. Areas of low level cloud are moving inshore across South Australia due to a high pressure system in the Great Bight. Extensive convective cloud and thunderstorm activity is visible across the tropical north due to the presence of a monsoon trough in the region. Fresh to strong onshore winds are generating low cloud along the New South Wales and Queensland coasts. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
