Spring across Australia means more big temperature fluctuations and that helps spark thunderstorms. This will bring more relief to dry eastern areas, but as we point out it is very hit and miss – and a large chunk of Queensland is going to miss out on this rain.

We track who has the heat and cool (most main centres have a mixture of both) and where the bulk of the wet weather will be – and won’t be.

This is a big picture forecast designed to be used with your local 7 day weather forecast from your preferred provider – to help make sense of what is on the way.
