Adelaide is set to enjoy a sunny end to the week, with clear skies and dry conditions prevailing across the metropolitan region today. The Bureau of Meteorology reports zero chance of rain with a high of 24 degrees. The light winds, initially from the southeast at 15 to 25 km/h, will turn easterly in the evening, ranging from 15 to 20 km/h.
Moving into the weekend, the weather will shift slightly. Saturday will be predominantly sunny with the mercury climbing significantly to a maximum of 35 degrees (so a hot one for Pageant day!!) Early in the day, winds will be easterly at 15 to 20 km/h, tending northeasterly before dawn and then shifting from northwest to northeast at speeds of 25 to 35 km/h in the morning. Despite the rise in temperature, the chance of rain remains marginal at 5%.
Sunday sees a further change, with partly cloudy skies forecasted and a medium chance of morning showers, especially around the southern suburbs. The chance of rain sits at 30% with possible rainfall between 0 to 1 mm. Post-shower, a brighter afternoon is expected. Wind conditions will shift from west to northwest at 20 to 30 km/h, then turning southwesterly at 15 to 25 km/h later in the morning. Temperatures will cool down to a maximum of 23 degrees.
For those venturing into or residing near coastal waters, be advised of the strong wind warnings issued for Saturday. Areas highlighted for caution include the Far West Coast, Upper West Coast, and Lower South East Coast.
Looking at the broader South Australian region, a high pressure system moving eastward across the area will be located over the Tasman Sea by Saturday morning. This movement will usher in northerly winds which are expected to freshen on Saturday. These will precede a southwesterly change that is expected to sweep across the western parts on Saturday and will cover all remaining parts of South Australia by Sunday.
Further details on South Australia’s weather reveal that apart from isolated light morning showers near the Lower South East coast, conditions today will remain mostly sunny inland. Maximum temperatures will generally be below average around the agricultural area but will be near or slightly above average in other areas. South to southeasterly winds will prevail with fresh afternoon sea breezes near the coast.
Saturday in the wider South Australia region is expected to remain dry, though northerly winds will become fresh and gusty, notably in the western parts. Cloud cover will increase during the afternoon and evening, with isolated showers projected to develop around the western and southern coasts later that night. Maximum temperatures will be significantly above average, particularly in the west.
As the weekend concludes, Sunday will bring a fresh southwesterly change across the central and eastern parts of South Australia in the morning. Isolated showers will spread over the agricultural area and may reach the southern parts of the pastoral districts. Maximum temperatures will be above average in the east and north ahead of the change; however, they will drop to below average following the change.
