Adelaide is heading into a wetter, windier stretch, with a fairly quiet end to Thursday giving way to showers on Friday before a much stronger weekend change brings rain, gusty winds and a possible thunderstorm into Sunday.
For today, Adelaide will stay mostly cloudy, with a medium chance of light showers through the late morning and afternoon and a top of 17 degrees. Winds will remain light, so while it won’t be especially cold by winter standards, it will feel like a grey, subdued day around the city.
Friday looks a touch milder, reaching 19 degrees, but it’s also the first clear sign that the weather is shifting. The day starts partly cloudy before showers become more likely by evening, with light winds turning northerly through the middle of the day.
By Saturday, the weekend takes a much more unsettled turn. Cloud will thicken across Adelaide and showers are expected to become widespread, with a very high chance of rain and a top of 17 degrees.
Sunday is shaping up as the wettest and roughest day of the week, with rain, a possible morning thunderstorm and a sharp wind change as northerlies swing westerly during the day. Adelaide can expect between 15 and 30 mm of rain on Sunday alone, with winds strengthening to 25 to 40 km/h and temperatures struggling to reach 15 degrees.
That blustery pattern doesn’t disappear once the weekend wraps up. Monday stays unsettled, although conditions should gradually ease compared with Sunday. Showers are still very likely, particularly during the morning, before they begin to clear back a little later in the day.
Tuesday brings another burst of wet weather, with showers returning at a high chance and fresh winds again shifting from north to northwesterly before turning westerly later. The temperature is expected to top out at 15 degrees.
By Wednesday, Adelaide remains under cloudy skies with more showers on the cards and a high of 16 degrees, rounding out a cool, damp and decidedly wintry seven-day run.
