Adelaide is currently experiencing severe heatwave conditions, with the Bureau of Meteorology warning that several regions, including the Upper South East, Riverland, Murraylands, Mid North, Flinders, North West Pastoral, and Mount Lofty Ranges, will be affected through until Tuesday February 4th. Although the heatwave warning has been cancelled for Adelaide Metropolitan and Lower South East districts, high temperatures are expected to continue.
Today, Adelaide will experience early smoke haze, mainly from fires in western Victoria, which will clear to mostly sunny conditions. There’s also a chance of thunderstorms in the late morning and afternoon, which could bring gusty winds. Temperatures will reach 41 degrees with a low of 24 degrees, with light winds shifting from northwest to southwesterly midday, then changing to northeast to southeasterly in the evening.
Tuesday’s forecast predicts dry conditions in Adelaide, with a maximum temperature of 37 degrees and a low of 24 degrees. Winds will start light, then increase to 15 to 25 km/h in the morning, shifting south to southeasterly at 25 to 35 km/h around midday.
Wednesday will see a slight easing of the heat, with a sunny day, a minimum of 16 degrees, and a maximum of 32 degrees. Winds will be southeasterly at 25 to 35 km/h.
A high-pressure system over the Tasman Sea is driving the current weather pattern, with a low-pressure trough moving westwards early this week, followed by another trough near the Western Australian border. A second high-pressure system will establish a ridge to the south of South Australia by mid-next week.
