Our place of the day today in our Aussie weather video is a remarkable old volcano smack bang in the middle of the Tasman Sea called Ball’s Pyramid, near Lord Howe Island. Skip to the end of the video if you’re interested in a quick segment about it.

Meanwhile, a burst of wet weather is moving across NSW and will brush parts of VIC, QLD and ACT but don’t expect a lot outside of NSW. Heaviest rain looks to be around Sydney and southwards where it’s possible (not yet locked in) that 100 to 200mm may fall for some.

Elsewhere the numbers are lower in the 20 to 60mm range mostly. But a huge part of Aussie is quite dry in the coming week, despite a few showers bringing some brief relief to southern WA and some parts of VIC.

Meanwhile easterlies at the moment around TAS and VIC will swing round to westerlies next week, with gales likely in exposed parts of TAS, especially the further south you are on the island.

We have the 7 day forecast plus a 7 Day Australia only Rainfall Map.

Australia-only weather videos are twice weekly, Thursdays and Mondays.
