When will the rain give Adelaide a break?

Aline Ribeiro, Saturday August 13, 2022 - 12:57 AEST

A series of troughs, cold fronts, and low pressure systems have been bringing showers, rain, and strong winds to Adelaide since last Wednesday. Until now, Thursday 11th had the highest daily rainfall for August, with 10.4mm.

The question most relevant for those who want to enjoy the outdoors or simply wash (and dry) clothes is: when will this rain give us a break?

Lows and troughs will keep causing showers and rain until Monday 15th.

High pressure will build over the region and bring a brief relief in showers on Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th. So enjoy these days while you can, because another series of troughs and fronts will bring more showers and rainfall later in the week.

Adelaide has an average total rainfall of 61.3mm for August and has so far recorded 36.4mm in the city. In the past 13 days, only two of them were rain-free. That's why those who live in Adelaide have the feeling of being moldy.
