Australia Weather

A high pressure system situated over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge which dominates the eastern half of the country, bringing scattered low level cloud to the eastern seaboard. An upper level trough over southwest Queensland and northwestern New South Wales is driving mid to high level convective cloud in the region. A cold front moving east through the Great Australian Bight is driving thick mid to high level cloud over South Australia and western Victoria. To the west of the front low level speckled cloud is visible over the southern Australian coast. Part of the subtropical jet stream can be seen in the patchy high level cloud streaming over Queensland. The rest of the country is mostly cloud free.
