Overview
- Southern capitals are set for several warm, sunny days this week, with Adelaide and Melbourne in the mid to high 20s and Hobart near 25°C by Friday.
- Meteorologists say the anticlockwise flow around the high is sending northerly winds that pull hot interior air down to the southern coast.
- Temperatures are running well above April norms, with averages of about 22.2°C in Adelaide, 20.4°C in Melbourne and 17.5°C in Hobart.
- Most of South Australia and Victoria should stay dry and bright through the working week, with both days and nights warmer than usual for April.
- Localized exceptions include rain on Tasmania’s west coast mid‑week, cooler cloudy conditions with some showers along parts of the NSW coast, and a cold front expected to reach southwest WA on Thursday.
