Adelaide is heading into a changeable week, with a mild end to Thursday, a wetter Saturday, and then another burst of showers set to return early next week. For locals, that means a few pleasant winter windows between systems, but it’s worth keeping the umbrella close as conditions swing from partly cloudy skies to several days of rain.
Today will be fairly calm across Adelaide, with partly cloudy skies and just a slight chance of a passing shower. Temperatures are expected to top out at 20 degrees in the city, with suburbs including Elizabeth reaching 20, Glenelg 19, Mount Barker 18 and Noarlunga 19.
Friday looks a little warmer, with Adelaide forecast to reach 23 degrees under cloudy skies. A shower is possible later in the day, though much of daylight hours should stay dry.
Saturday is shaping up as the wettest day in Adelaide’s immediate forecast. Rain is very likely, especially through the morning, with totals of 3 to 10mm possible and a top of 19 degrees.
Sunday brings a welcome break, with mostly sunny skies returning and a cooler morning low of 9 degrees before a top of 18.
That calmer spell won’t last long. Monday turns cloudy with showers becoming very likely, and Adelaide could see anywhere from 8 to 25mm through the day. Temperatures will sit around 18 degrees after an overnight low of 12, with northeasterly winds turning northerly during the morning.
Tuesday continues the soggy run, with showers again very likely, 5 to 20mm possible, and a top of 18 degrees. By Wednesday, the city stays cloudy and showery, with a slightly cooler maximum of 16 degrees and rain still likely as winds swing westerly during the day. Taken together, the second half of the long-range forecast points to a notably wetter start to next week, so Adelaide residents may want to plan around several damp commutes.
