Residents of South Australia can expect a continuation of cooler and wet conditions over the next few days, according to the most recent forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology. Adelaide is currently experiencing a cloudy Sunday with maximum temperatures expected to reach 20°C alongside showers likely throughout the afternoon and evening.
Going into Monday, 17 November, Adelaide will see a minor drop in temperature with a maximum of 19°C and a minimum of 12°C. Showers are forecast, with a 70% chance of rainfall ranging from 0 to 4 mm. Similar conditions will persist into Tuesday, with the temperature slightly rising to a maximum of 21°C and a minimum of 13°C, and still, there is a moderate likelihood of showers.
The weather is expected to improve slightly by Wednesday, 19 November, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures ranging between 13°C and 20°C. For the latter part of the week, conditions will continue to improve with partly cloudy skies on Thursday and primarily sunny weather by Friday, where temperatures are forecast to rise to a comfortable 25°C.
The Bureau of Meteorology has also issued warnings that are pertinent to certain districts in South Australia. A warning to sheep graziers is in effect for the Mount Lofty Ranges, Mid North, Upper South East, and Lower South East forecast districts. The warning is due to expected cold temperatures, showers, and strong westerly winds throughout Sunday and Monday, which could lead to losses of lambs and sheep exposed to these harsh conditions.
Additionally, there are strong wind warnings for Adelaide Metropolitan Waters, the Lower West Coast, Central Coast, South Central Coast, Spencer Gulf, Gulf St Vincent, Investigator Strait, Upper South East Coast, and Lower South East Coast for Sunday. The warning extends to the Lower South East Coast for Monday. SMariners and coastal visitors should prepare for rough conditions and monitor updates.
These conditions across South Australia are a result of a series of troughs and cold fronts passing over the state, influenced by a ridge of high pressure extending from the west which brings a southwesterly airstream.
