00:00 Hello, Miriam here at the Bureau of Meteorology with a look at the warm and stormy week ahead
00:05 for many parts of Australia.
00:07 Today we're actually in for a more settled day across the southeast of the country though,
00:12 although there is still a risk of some storms across northern NSW and southern Queensland.
00:17 They are going to be largely dry though, with very isolated rainfall totals.
00:21 In the west we've got a low pressure trough dragging in heat and moisture from the north,
00:26 and that's triggering showers and thunderstorms across large parts of Western Australia, the
00:30 Northern Territory and South Australia.
00:33 Through central parts of the country we've also got a bit of rain developing across the
00:37 Ayr Peninsula later tonight, which is going to follow through into tomorrow, extending
00:41 across South Australia, Victoria and southern NSW.
00:46 Now the rainfall totals are going to be fairly patchy through the southeast tomorrow, but
00:51 it's going to be a little bit of a greyer day.
00:55 Storms will continue across western and central parts of the country.
00:58 In fact there are risks every day this week, particularly through the afternoon and evening
01:02 period.
01:03 We may need to issue warnings each day this week, so keep an eye on the Bureau's website
01:07 for that one.
01:09 Storms in the east though are mostly going to be confined to the NSW/QLD border area.
01:14 But going into Wednesday we will start to see moisture building along the east coast,
01:19 with the risk of storms across broader areas of NSW and more onshore showers.
01:24 Through Thursday that moisture will peak, particularly through northeast NSW and southeast
01:29 QLD.
01:30 Storms may bring some locally heavy falls.
01:33 Meanwhile further into the central parts of the country this trough is continuing to trigger
01:37 those showers and thunderstorms.
01:41 By the end of the week we're going to continue to see this very similar pattern.
01:45 Some activity through central and western parts of the country tied to this trough,
01:49 and a little bit of weather clearing from the east coast as this trough moving off the
01:54 coast pushes that moisture away.
01:57 Looking at the temperatures now, we're in for cool to mild conditions across southern
02:01 parts of the state, including the south, the country, including the southeast, but a lot
02:06 of heat is going to be lingering across those inland areas, particularly through northern
02:11 NSW and southern QLD.
02:13 Temperatures are going to peak in the high 30s to low 40s through those areas as the
02:17 week goes on.
02:18 And towards midweek we're going to see that heat picking up across the northern Territory
02:22 and northern WA as well.
02:25 In fact by Thursday we'll see a little bit of an easing in conditions through NSW, but
02:30 very very hot across inland QLD in particular, following through to the end of the week.
02:36 Now this persistent heat is actually going to trigger low intensity heatwave conditions.
02:41 For the Monday to Wednesday period we're going to see those low intensity heatwave conditions
02:46 across southern QLD.
02:48 But through Tuesday to Thursday they'll start to extend into parts of the northern Territory
02:52 and western Australia as well.
02:55 And by the Wednesday to Friday period we're actually seeing small pockets of severe intensity
02:59 heatwave conditions.
03:01 So this is telling us that we need to be aware of the heat, we need to stay cool, stay hydrated
03:06 and stay indoors where we can.
03:08 So whether you're in for the heat or the storms or both this week, you can find all the details
03:13 of your weather forecast via the Bureau's website and weather app.
03:16 Have a good week and we'll see you next time.
