00:00Hello, I'm Angus. Thanks for joining me for the National Weather Forecast.
00:03We'll check out the weather across Australia for tomorrow the 31st of March, the last day of March,
00:09and it will be a fairly settled and clear picture across most of Australia.
00:14Now there are a few areas we're keeping our eye on for potential rainfall on Tuesday,
00:18including Queensland's north tropical coast where we could see some heavy showers and thunderstorms,
00:22and a little further down the coast, probably no heavy showers,
00:25but a little rainfall for the Queensland-New South Wales border area.
00:28Then inland, we've got this cold front here, which could have a few punchy thunderstorms
00:33across the Western Australia-South Australia border, mostly over outback areas.
00:39Let's fly around the states now, starting in the northeast for Queensland,
00:42and we certainly could see some heavy showers north of Townsville,
00:45around that Cairns to Cardwell area with some thunderstorms in the mix.
00:49Then quite a bright day along the coast from Townsville down to Bundaberg,
00:53but south of Bundaberg we have got a few light showers,
00:56maybe 5 to 10 millimetres, unlikely to get more than that,
00:59but it could be a little damp at times through Brisbane.
01:02All other areas are bright and sunny through the south and the west of the state,
01:06with near seasonal temperatures.
01:08A few showers are also anticipated in the far northeast of New South Wales,
01:12really around the Coffs Harbour-Yamba area, up through Byron Bay,
01:15and Tweed Heads, with no significant rain expected to accumulate.
01:19And I've started with that because we probably will struggle to find another drop of rain anywhere in this state.
01:25Bright sunny skies for central and southern parts of the east coast,
01:29from Maitland through Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong,
01:31with seasonal temperatures in the mid-20s.
01:33It's a bright day for Canberra and others in the mountains and Tablelands, 25 degrees there,
01:38and we've got sunshine our west with temperatures pushing low 30s.
01:42A touch of fog possible in the morning in Victoria,
01:45and that's really the only thing that would come between clear blue skies and the entire day.
01:51All the rest of the weather will be bright and sunny right across the state,
01:54and with a northerly breeze, the temperatures are really climbing as well.
01:58A bit of late warmth before we head deeper into autumn,
02:0128 for Melbourne, with most places being between 26 and 31.
02:06Also a really sunny, bright and warm day for Tasmania.
02:09A little cloud around, but a lot of sunshine around too.
02:11Temperatures will range from 21 across the north coast,
02:14down to about 27 or 28 here in the south, with moderate northerly wind.
02:20A bright day, but a bit of a blustery day for parts of South Australia,
02:24and the sunny, warm and windy conditions will lead to elevated fire danger,
02:28including a rating for extreme fire danger near the Mount Lofty Ranges,
02:32not too far away from Adelaide.
02:34Most of the state will have bright sunny weather,
02:37but we'll see this band of rain and storms move into the Nullarbor and Ceduna
02:40through the course of the morning, and in the evening that could affect parts of the EP,
02:44the Eyre Peninsula.
02:46It may then go on to impact some other areas overnight as we move into Wednesday morning,
02:50but that will not be a factor for Tuesday's weather.
02:54A couple of showers possible for both western and southern coastlines in WA.
02:58Caught up in a southwest wind, keeping a bit of a cap on the temperatures as well,
03:02mostly around the low 20s, and that includes for Perth.
03:04Certainly won't be heavy rainfall there,
03:06but just a few light spits and spots as you head about your day.
03:10The southerly winds actually do push quite far up the west coast,
03:14leading to below average temperatures around Carnarvon and Exmouth,
03:17but it will be sunny skies for those areas,
03:19recently impacted by tropical cyclone Nurel.
03:23And it certainly does start to feel like we're at the tail end of the wet season now.
03:27The showers and thunderstorms are becoming much less common
03:29across northern parts of the country this week,
03:32a lot drier than it's been for quite some time.
03:35That should have been a nice bright day around Darwin,
03:37just a low shower risk there.
03:38Same thing for Catherine.
03:39We do see elevated risk of some wet weather through eastern parts of the top end
03:43around Nullumboy, Arnhem Land, and out towards the Gulf of Carpentaria coastline.
03:47Other spots on this map, Tennant Creek down to Uluru,
03:49and then across through the Kimberley and the Pilbara should have a bright sunny day.
03:54That is all I have this time around.
03:56I will be back tomorrow with the next update.
03:58In the meantime, weather information is always available
04:00on the Bureau's website and the BOM weather app.
04:03Thanks for watching.
04:04Have a great day.
