Cold fronts and cloudbands to bring rain and snow in Australia this week
A series of cold fronts and northwest cloudbands will cause a mix of rain and snow across Australia this week, affecting parts of at least six states and territories. The satellite images below show a band of cloud stretching over WA and SA on Monday, while a field of speckled cloud can be seen lying over southeastern Australia. Image: Visible satellite images captured on Monday, July 14, 2025. The speckled cloud over Australia’s southeast is associated with a cold air mass that brought snow to several states over the last 24 hours. This included snow to low levels in Tasmania and a top-up of fresh snow in the mainland Alps. Image: Fresh tracks in the fresh snow near Perisher on Monday morning. Source: Steve Smith While rain and snow are now clearing from southeastern Australia, the cloudband in the west is going to cause rain to spread over several states during the next two days. The map below shows where rain is expected to fall during Monday and Tuesday combined as the cloudband drifts from west to east across the southern half Australia. The heaviest falls from this cloudband are expected to occur along a corridor stretching across SA and NSW. Image: Forecast accumulated rain during the 48 hours ending at 10pm AEST on Tuesday, July 14, 2025. The thick band of cloud will also keep a cap on daytime temperatures across parts of SA and NSW on Tuesday. Broken Hill is only forecast to reach a top of 12°C on Tuesday, which is 4°C below average for this time of year. If the temperature stays below 11.8°C on Tuesday, it will be Broken Hill’s coldest day so far this year. Sydney could also struggle to climb very far above 15°C on Tuesday as increased cloud cover restricts heating across the city. Image: Forecast maximum temperatures on Tuesday, July 15, 2025. Cold fronts and another cloudband on the way Later this week, two cold fronts will sweep across southern Australia and cause bursts of wind and showers in parts of WA, SA, Tas, Vic and southern NSW, along with dustings of alpine snow. The first front will move across southern Australia from west to east between Tuesday night and Thursday. The second front will push across the country’s south in a similar fashion between Thursday night and Sunday. Both fronts will cause wintry conditions as blustery winds combine with cold air and showers. An interesting feature associated with one of this week’s cold fronts will be a weak northwest cloudband forming over parts of Queensland and NSW on Thursday and Friday. This fleeting cloudband won’t bring widespread heavy rain, but it could deliver about 10 to 20 mm of rain to parts of central and southern Qld and northeast NSW. This cloudband will also cause cool daytime temperatures over parts of southeast Qld and northern NSW. Brisbane is currently forecast to reach 22°C on Friday but it will struggle to get above 20°C if cloud cover gets thick enough. This will be a week of fluctuating temperatures featuring periods of wet and cloudy weather for parts of southern and eastern Australia.

Tropical Storm Nari threatens Tokyo and northern Japan
Tropical Storm Nari, the fifth tropical cyclone of the western Pacific typhoon season formed over the weekend, and is tracking close to Tokyo and northern Japan on Monday. As seen in the satellite imagery below, Nari tracked north rapidly on Monday morning, coming within 250 kilometres of Tokyo around midday. Image: Satellite imagery of Tropical Storm Nari on Monday morning, July 14, 2025. Powerful winds reaching 40-45 knots (75-85 km/h) are expected within proximity to the centre of the system, with a broader area of gales extending across the eastern flanks of the low. Image: Forecast track of Tropical Storm Nari with areas of gales (above 34 knots) and the forecast position uncertainty. Coastal parts of the Kantō, Tōhoku and Hokkaidō prefectures can expect gusty winds on Monday and Tuesday as the storm tracks parallel to the coastline. Strong southerly winds may persist into Wednesday as Nari crosses Hokkaidō into the Sea of Okhotsk and over the Kuril Islands. Image: Forecast 10m wind gusts at 12pm JST on Monday, July 14, 2025. The strong winds around this system will also generate large waves battering into the eastern Honshu and Hokkaidō coastline until Wednesday. Image: OneFX forecast significant wave heights at 9pm JST on Monday, July 14, 2025. Some heavy rainfalls are expected on Monday, but a deep stream of moist southerly winds will feed intense and flooding rainfall into Shikoku and southern and central parts of Honshu, including Tokyo, between Tuesday and Thursday. Widespread falls of 150-300mm are expected over these regions. Image: Forecast rainfall to 3pm JST on Thursday, July 17, 2025. Rainfall will contract west on Thursday, with some heavy falls persisting over Shikoku and Kyushu islands on Friday. Much more stable conditions are expected over the coming weekend as a high pressure ridge strengthens over the Japan region, extending into next week.

Recent rain handy in SA but still a long way to go
Recent rain has already taken a few South Australian farming towns above the monthly average, but they still have a substantial long-term rainfall deficit to make up. Snowtown in the Mid North, and Cummins and Kimba on Eyre Peninsula, have received 47mm, 62mm, and 45mm, respectively, so far this month, with most falling last Wednesday. That makes it back-to-back months of above-average rainfall for Kimba. Image: Observed rainfall for month to date (to July 13, 2025) as a percentage of monthly average (BoM). In isolation or during a normal year, one could be led to believe all has been going well in these farming areas. However, for Snowtown and Cummins, this is the first wetter-than-average month in 13 months and nine months, respectively. For Kimba, it's the first time the northern Eyre Peninsula town has achieved back-to-back wetter-than-average months since 2022. Despite this healthy recent rain, Cummins, Snowtown and Kimba are still short of the long-term average for 24 months by 310mm, 300mm and 250mm, respectively. Deficits of this magnitude have been observed across much of the agricultural area, with most locations only receiving 50-60% of the average rainfall. As a result, soil moisture has made a promising recovery near the surface but is still quite dry deeper down. Image: Observed rainfall for 24 months to June 30, 2025 as a percentage of two-year average (BoM). During the past month or so, cold fronts and low pressure systems have become more frequent and have some tapped into an increase in moisture fed from the Indian Ocean. Looking ahead to the next few months, rainfall is likely to continue relatively frequently, occasionally due to a northwest cloudband, resulting in a near-normal season in most areas.
