    South-east faces flooding, storms after second-driest September on record (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A major rain and storm event intensifying across south-east Australia could trigger flooding during the next 48 hours. The sudden soaking follows a severe lack of rain in September — Melbourne only picked up 18mm last month, but was soaked by 20mm in just one hour on Thursday afternoon. And for many areas, even heavier rain is still to come as a stream of tropical moisture feeds into a low-pressure system over the southern Murray Basin. The system is notable for its slow movement, which should e

    Spring see-saw to deliver hottest September weather in years (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Following a polar blast this week, temperatures across south-east states will soar as much as 12 degrees Celsius above average this weekend. The rapid warming is due to an in-feed of air from Australia's north-west "heat engine" which has already brought dozens of temperature records to Western Australia this week. The first summer outlook has also now arrived, and in a repeat of the spring forecast, weather modelling is indicating the potential for record heat. Frigid air from Antarctica droppe

    Read excerpt

    A powerful front will generate a smorgasbord of wild weather across eastern Australia this weekend. It will include: potential record hot early September temperatures in Brisbane and Sydney; damaging winds and gusty thunderstorms in parts of New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria; flooding rains in northern Victoria and northern Tasmania; and a dusting of snow across the Alps. After unprecedented winter heat across much of eastern Australia, the start to spring has also brought record war

    Record warm winter brings disappointing end to snow season (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Australian ski resorts are winding up operations early in 2026 after the warmest winter on record. Along with mild temperatures, winter also brought frequent rain to the high country, preventing a seasonal snowpack from establishing across lower alpine elevations. This year also marks three very lean years in the past four, continuing the long-term decline in snowfall across the Australian Alps, which is proving to be one of the most tangible signs of our warming climate. This year's snow season

    Spring scorcher to follow record warm winter for south-east capitals (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Australia is wrapping up an exceptionally mild winter, and modelling continues to favour unprecedented heat across the country through spring. For Sydney and Melbourne, winter has been the warmest on record, with a mean temperature above all previous years in the Bureau of Meteorology's (BOM) meteorological history for both cities dating back to the 1850s. Canberra also saw its highest ever winter temperatures, Hobart its second warmest, while Adelaide and Brisbane's winter will rank third warme
