Hello from the Bureau with your weekly update for
Sunday the 5th December. Australia had its wettest November since records began and unfortunately
there's another wet week ahead for the east. An active past week, particularly
across eastern Australia with showers, severe storms and heavy rainfall renewing riverine
flooding with multiple catchments across eastern Australia reaching major flood levels, hindering
harvest, and causing extensive crop damage. At the moment, areas of cloud with embedded storms lies across the interior, while
the south of WA is cloud free. For today, multiple inland troughs are
triggering showers and storms for parts of SA, extending across northern and eastern
Australia later– with possible severe storms for northeast NSW and Qld. Dry
with elevated fire dangers of southern WA. On Monday rain and storms will ramp up across
northern, central and eastern Australia, with the risk of severe storms and moderate to
heavy falls including across flood affected parts. Dry for SA and southern WA with a high south of
the Bight creating good harvesting conditions.
More wet weather on Tuesday across
northern, central and eastern Australia with possible severe storms. Cooler
across the southeast behind the front. Generally dry conditions
across the southern interior. On Wednesday, a low over southeast Australia
will draw tropical moisture southwards, with rain and storms across the east and a risk
of renewed flooding. Dry through central parts, possible showers and storms for southern WA. On Thursday the low over the southeast will
intensify with gusty winds and heavy falls possible.
