Wet and stormy weather is moving into eastern and northern Australia with the passage of a rainband over the next couple of days.

Today, a cold front moving over South Australia taps into moisture streaming from the Indian Ocean.

Meanwhile, moisture is also wrapping around a low pressure system over the Great Australian Bight, bringing showers onshore to southern Western Australia and SA.

The rain band over SA will gradually move east, and by Thursday widespread rainfall is forecast for western New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Damaging winds are also expected to develop about the Victorian and NSW alps in the evening.

Rain and storms will also move through central and southern Northern Territory and western Queensland on Thursday and Friday, and could cause some minor disruption to travellers and campers making the most of the dry season.

The rainband will ease and move offshore on the weekend, while a follow up cold front will bring showery and cooler conditions to the south-east.

For the first time since the start of June, we could also see a dusting of snow over the alpine areas. This follows an unusually prolonged period of mild daytime and nighttime weather.

A strong high pressure ridge and a few days of warm northerly winds have resulted in a record-warm winter morning for parts of south-eastern Australia.

Numerous locations in Victoria and South Australia have recorded their warmest June morning on record.

Records are likely to occur again tomorrow for parts of inland New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, with overnight temperatures 8 °C to 12 °C above the June average. Friday will then be the peak warm morning for eastern NSW, with temperatures 6 °C to 10 °C above the June average.

As a series of cold fronts approach from the south west, cooler air will move in over the weekend with a return to more seasonable winter temperatures.

A cloudband is bringing a stream of moisture from the Indian Ocean over the continent this week.

A cold front in the south is helping to progress the cloudband to the east, with rain and storms moving through the eastern half of the country over the next few days.

Meteorologist Jessica Lingard explains in this video what a cloudband is.

The water vapour satellite imagery this morning shows moisture streaming across the continent from the Indian Ocean, with a north-west cloudband extending to southern and south-eastern Australia. To the west, an upper atmospheric low pressure system spins over southern Western Australia.

Meanwhile at the surface, a slow moving cold front is bringing rain and storms through parts of South Australia today, and strong winds and moisture wrap around a secondary low bringing vigorous onshore flow to southern WA.

These weather systems through the depth of the atmosphere are working together to bring severe weather to WA and SA this morning.

For the South East Coastal district of WA, around Esperance to Israelite Bay, damaging wind gusts up to 100km/h are possible this morning near the coast, and six hour rainfall totals up to 55mm may develop near the coast and inland.

For parts of the North West Pastoral, West Coast and Eyre Peninsula districts of SA, heavy showers and thunderstorms may bring six hour rainfall totals up to 60mm today.
Severe Weather Warnings are current for parts of WA and SA.

Sydney is experiencing record long period of mild and dry weather, recording temperatures above 20°C for 10 days in a row.

This is due to strong high pressure systems developing over or near eastern Australia over the past 2 weeks, enabling these prolonged settled conditions. Cold fronts and troughs have slipped to the south or weakened as they moved into central NSW, resulting in only a few light showers for Sydney.

The next few days are also forecast to reach 20°C or higher. This could mean 14 consecutive days of above 20°C, which significantly longer than the previous longest on record for Sydney in June. The previous record is 9 days from the 6-14 June 1919.

It has also been a very dry start to June, with just 6.8mm recorded in the city. This is only 5% of the average total rainfall in June, which is 133mm.

This week, there are only a few light showers forecast for Sydney.

National Weather Forecast: Rain in the south and west, settled in the east.

Issued: 3pm AEST Tuesday 16 June 2026.

A deepening low pressure system over the Great Australian Bight is driving wet, windy and stormy weather for southern Australia tomorrow.

In the west, moisture is streaming around the low, bringing another morning of heavy rainfall to the Esperance coast, while tight pressure gradients bring the risk of damaging winds to the area.

Meanwhile, a cold front and cloudband extends from the southern Northern Territory through South Australia, with widespread rain and storms forecast for SA tomorrow. Heavy falls are possible through the North West Pastoral District and West Coast, extending to the Eyre Peninsula. Showers will extend to western Victoria and Tasmania.

It will be more settled for eastern Australia, with morning fog and a mostly dry day apart from showers along the Queensland coast.

Warmer than usual temperatures are again forecast across much of central and eastern Australia, with cooler conditions expected in the west.

Severe Weather Warnings are current for WA and SA.
