Perth weather this week: First 30°C of the season, then rain
Perth will experience a swing from warm to wet weather this week, with the city forecast to have its first 30°C of the season on Wednesday before rain sets in on Friday. A high pressure system passing to the south of Western Australia during the first half of this week will cause warm air to flow towards the state’s west coast. This injection of warm air will cause daily maximum temperatures to increase from around 24°C on Monday to 27°C on Tuesday and possibly reaching 30°C on Wednesday. If it does get this warm, Wednesday would be Perth’s first 30°C so far this spring and the city’s warmest day in five months. After another warm day on Thursday, with a maximum around 27°C, Friday will be noticeably cooler in Perth and surrounding areas as a cold front causes cloud and rain to develop over the state’s west. Current forecasts suggest Perth could see around 10-20 mm of rain as the front passes through on Friday, although totals may vary depending on the timing and strength of the front.

It will also be noticeably cooler behind the front, with maximum temperatures forecast to reach about 23°C on Friday and 20°C on Saturday. Further inland, a separate low pressure trough will cause widespread showers and thunderstorms over WA between Monday and Wednesday this week. This thunderstorm activity will stretch from the Interior towards the Pilbara, Gascoyne and parts of the state’s west and south. Some of these storms are likely to become severe and there may even be a few storms around Perth, most likely on Wednesday. Perth's temperature see-saw this week, with maximums ranging from 30°C on Wednesday to 20°C on Saturday, and the widespread thunderstorms are sure signs that spring is well underway in WA.

Fog and smoke shroud Sydney
Sydney residents this morning woke to a blanket of fog across western suburbs. Not only that, Sydneysiders would have also noticed the distinctive smell of burning eucalyptus. According to NSW RFS, the hazard reduction burning season has begun with several burns across Greater Sydney adding a plume of smoke to the bank of fog. As you can see from the satellite imagery loop below, fog extended across a large swath of the metropolitan area, narrowly missing Sydney Airport and Sydney CBD. Once the sun came up, the fog quickly dissipated, clearing entirely by 10am. Image: Satellite loop of fog over the Sydney area.

Monitoring stations in western Sydney recorded poor air quality in the early hours of Sunday morning as PM2.5 and PM10 levels soared. Now that the fog and smoke have largely cleared with help from an afternoon sea breeze, air quality levels have recovered to 'fair to good' levels. However, with prescribed burns continuing in the area, it's best to monitor the situation closely. You can find more information at the NSW Government Air Quality site and the NSW RFS Hazard Reduction page.

Sunday spring storms for South Australia
The start of spring brought thunderstorms to Sydney last weekend and this weekend it's Adelaide's turn. As Adelaide and Melbourne continue to ride the spring temperature see-saw, a cold front is expected to bring thunderstorms to South Australia and western parts of Victoria on Sunday. Thunderstorms are likely to kick off early on Sunday morning over South Australia's West Coast and Eyre Peninsula, reaching Adelaide around midday then are expected to explode across eastern parts of South Australia, western Victoria and far southwest NSW during the afternoon. Winds are expected to become gusty across a broad area of South Australia tomorrow afternoon, generally peaking in the 60-80km/h range, just below warning thresholds. Thunderstorms however have the potential to become severe, producing wind gusts exceeding 90km/h.

Source: Weatherzone Rainfall may be intense but will be brief due to the thunderstorms' fast-moving nature. As such, rainfall totals are unlikely to exceed 20mm across South Australia and Victoria.

Source: Weatherzone For Victoria, high-resolution Australian model guidance (ACCESS-C-VIC), suggests that a gust front could develop across the northwest of the state with the thunderstorm activity. If this were to occur between October and December when rye grass pollen is at its peak then Epidemic Thunderstorm Asthma could be a significant risk. The pollen count for Sunday is forecast to be low so the risk of this occurring is low (BoM also does not issue this forecast until October 1st). Nevertheless, those who are susceptible to asthma should be aware of the upcoming Epidemic Thunderstorm Asthma season, more details here.
