Flood warnings easing across NSW with drier conditions forecast after wet weekend in Sydney
New South Wales residents can expect a reprieve from wet weather in the coming days, with drier conditions forecast following major downpours in Sydney. While minor flood warnings remain for the towns of Wee Waa, Bugilbone and Goangra in regional NSW, the Bureau of Meteorology has downgraded a flood watch warning for residents on the mid-north coast in anticipation of drier conditions. Sky News Weather Meteorologist Marina Neuman said dry conditions were expected to set in mid-week. They should offer respite for residents along the Naomi River, which flooded in several places following heavy rainfall on the weekend. 'We have seen significant rainfall over the last 10 days, and so far in August, Sydney has seen 194mm of rainfall, seeing a month's worth of rain over the last 10 days,' Neuman said. She explained this was the result of a low-pressure system colliding with warmer than usual sea temperatures off the NSW coast. 'Things are changing over the rest of the week with a high-pressure system moving in over Thursday and a series of cold fronts moving across Victoria," Neuman added. 'We do have a few more showers on the way, but we will see a shift in that weather pattern.' Elsewhere on Tuesday, most of the nation's capital cities can expect more of the same weather-wise, with many forecast to receive a mix of showers and sunny spells. Adelaide is forecast to see showers, as well as light winds in the afternoon. Temperatures will be mild in the South Australian capital, with a low of 11 and high of 17 degrees forecast. In the Sunshine State, Brisbane will start the day with overcast conditions with a low of 10 and a top of 22. Canberrans are in for a freezing start on Tuesday, with the mercury forecast to drop as low as negative two. Frosty conditions in nation's capital will then give way to a top of 16 and mostly sunny skies. Darwin is set for a sunny day and a top of 31 degrees, although locals should be wary of spending too long outdoors as the UV index will be at maximum. Cloudy conditions are expected in Melbourne, with a low of seven and a high of 15 degrees forecast alongside a chance of showers. Hobart residents face similar conditions, with showers, a low of five and a top of 16 expected. Sydney is set for more rain on Tuesday, with a 40 per cent chance of showers. Temperatures will also remain mild ahead of drier and sunnier conditions later in the week. Finally, Perth is set to see a sunny day, with the mercury expected to reach 23 degrees.

Northwest cloud band to bring days of heavy rain, gusty winds and cold snaps across Queensland as low pressure system builds off the coast
A sprawling cloud band stretching thousands of kilometres across Australia is set to drench parts of Queensland, with warnings of intense localised rainfall, strong winds, and unseasonably cool temperatures through the weekend. Parts of Queensland are in for a sodden weekend amid warnings of a powerful weather system set to unleash torrential rain, biting winds and a noticeable drop in temperatures across the state. A northwest cloud band extending over 3,000km from the Indian Ocean is clashing with a coastal low-pressure system between Maryborough and Yeppoon, creating the perfect conditions for widespread rainfall through central and coastal Queensland. Brisbane could face a wet start to the Ekka on Saturday, with 20mm of rain forecast and gusts of up to 30km/h. Further south, the Gold Coast is expected to collect as much as 95mm across three days, starting Friday. But the heaviest rainfall is set to hit central Queensland, where localised totals could soar to 300mm in areas closest to the low's path. Cities including Rockhampton, Gladstone and Yeppoon are all forecast to receive well over 50mm. 'Rainfall is starting to shift, moving further to the north. We are seeing spotty and isolated downpours. So, keep the umbrella on hand as it moves north with coastal showers moving up into Brisbane,' said Sky News Weather Meteorologist Marina Neuman. 'That will continue throughout the afternoon and into your evening commute times, so you will need the umbrella on hand and definitely throughout the week. 'We will see that system move out of the Outback and going to produce some showers for portions of Queensland.' Hervey Bay is predicted to get 20mm on Friday, with a further 50mm possible on Saturday. In Bundaberg, two-day totals could exceed 65mm, while weather forecasters are closely monitoring areas that may experience far more intense rainfall depending on the movement of the coastal low. While the initial downpour is expected to ease by Sunday, the broader system is only getting started. The northwest cloud band is dragging a thick stream of tropical moisture from the Indian Ocean, with its reach extending into New South Wales. — Bureau of Meteorology, Queensland (@BOM_Qld) August 6, 2025 This second pulse of rain will bring further wet conditions and see temperatures tumble across the region. 'On Thursday we will start to see some widespread showers moving across Charlesville and pushing into the east,' Neuman said. 'There will be some widespread and heavy falls at times with showers produced across Moree and Bourke, but focusing on Queensland, this is partially from that cloud band, and what we also have is an offshore trough. That is going to produce some heavy rainfall from Mackay, all the way down to Bundaberg. 'In terms of how much rainfall, from Rockhampton, all the way down to Lismore, we are looking at about 50mm and we could see a few isolated areas along the coast, some even seeing 75mm of rain.' The sudden change in weather will also see an unseasonal chill sweep across parts of Queensland. Thargomindah, in the far southwest Channel Country, is forecast to reach just 18C on Friday, well below its August average of 23.1C. Coastal wind warnings have been issued for the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Capricornia regions. 'It'll also be cooler because of the increasing winds, increasing clouds and some of the showers and rain,' Ms Pumpa added While wind alerts remain in place, hazardous surf warnings have been lifted for beaches along the Gold Coast, though conditions are expected to remain rough heading into the weekend. Authorities are urging Queenslanders to stay alert to forecast updates, particularly in flood-prone areas or locations directly impacted by the low-pressure system.

Cold front to sweep across Australia's south-east bringing showers and chilly weather to Victoria, SA and Tasmania
A cold front is forecast to sweep across Australia's south-east on Wednesday, bringing showers and chilly temperatures to multiple states. Sky News Weather Meteorologist Marina Neuman said the cold front would bring persistent rain over the coming hours. "A cold front crosses the south-east overnight (on Tuesday), triggering showers Wednesday across South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania," she said. "Showers will continue throughout the afternoon, clearing into the evening, ahead of a drier and warmer end to the week for the south-east." The Bureau of Meterology has also forecast showers will persist across the day in SA, Victoria and Tasmania, adding the rain should provide some relief to farmers in drought-stricken regions. Residents in parts of New South Wales will be hoping to avoid any spillover effects from the front, following a period of relentless rain on the state's mid-north coast. The State Emergency Service has issued several warnings in the region, including a flood warning in the town of Narrabi. The town of Gunnedah is also subject to an ongoing flood warning following the recent downpour. While colder temperatures and rain will be widespread on Wednesday, some capital cities appear set to enjoy a dose of winter sunshine. In Brisbane, a sunny day is in store before the weather takes a turn later in the week. Locals can expect clear skies and a high of 25 degrees. Darwin will continue its sunny streak with clear skies forecast alongside a top of 32 degrees. Sydney residents can expect to see early fog in the western suburbs on Wednesday along with a low of just 10 degrees. The mercury should climb with the sun, though, with clear skies meaning the Harbour City could reach a top of 19. It will be a cold start to the day in the nation's capital, with Canberrans facing lows of negative two and potential frost. Mostly sunny conditions should prevail later on, however, with the city forecast to reach a top of 15 degrees. Residents in Hobart will wake to a mostly cloudy day, including the chance of showers, as the cold front sweeps through. Sunny spells should bring some respite, although temperatures will remain chilly throughout the day. Melbourne will also see a cool start to the day, with showers and a top of just 14 degrees forecast. Showers are also expected in Adelaide, along with a low of 10 and high of only 15 degrees. Meanwhile, Perth could see temperatures plummet as low as five on Wednesday, with rain likely over the course of the day.

‘Disruptive start to school holidays': Icy blast to hit every state and territory
Australians nationwide are likely to wake up to frosty conditions in the coming days, as chilly morning ground temperatures are forecast across every state and territory. Frost alerts have been issued for several southeastern regions, including Canberra, where temperatures are expected to dip below freezing. Sky News meteorologist Marina Neuman described the frost forecast as 'widespread,' with cold conditions set to affect both the eastern and western parts of the country. The anticipated frost coverage spans a wide area, including the ACT, most of New South Wales, and parts of Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia. 'That means the entire country, every single state, are likely to see frost at least somewhere within their respective state or territory,' Neuman said. She noted that some southeastern regions already faced 'icy cold' conditions on Friday morning, with Canberra reaching a low of just 1.3°C. The capital was forecast to plunge to – 5°C on Saturday, while Sydney was expected to see a minimum of 7°C. The Bureau of Meteorology issued frost warnings for areas in Victoria and South Australia. In northern Victoria, severe frosts could send the mercury as low as – 4°C, potentially causing significant damage to crops, according to the bureau. In South Australia, frosts and lows of around – 1°C were forecast for districts such as the Mid North, Upper South East, Murraylands, and Riverlands. A sheep graziers' warning has also been issued for the Snowy Mountains in NSW, with cold temperatures and north-westerly winds expected. Up north a band of cloud and rain has started forming over The Gulf of Carpentaria, bringing wet conditions to parts of northern Queensland and the Northern Territory. As Sunday progresses, this rain band is expected to move eastwards, reaching the Queensland coast. By the end of the day, much of eastern Queensland — from Townsville down to Brisbane — is likely to experience rainfall. The bureau's latest weather update said the rain would 'continue into Monday morning, clearing out of the state by Monday evening as the wet weather pushes into NSW'. 'The rain isn't expected to be heavy or cause flooding. However, it does come during the drier time of year, so may be disruptive for the start of the school holidays,' the bureau said. A cold front is expected to sweep through the southeast on Sunday, though Neuman noted it won't bring a major shift in temperatures. Sunday's forecast includes highs of 19°C in Sydney, 21°C in Port Macquarie, 20°C in Coffs Harbour, and 21°C in both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. 'What we're looking at is temperatures remaining right where they should be for this time of the year,' Neuman said. 'However, it might feel a bit cooler than that in Queensland because we have rainfall moving in. That's going to be all the way across the tropics, through the centre and well into the coastline, and so that could make it feel a bit cooler both Saturday as well as Sunday.' Maximum temperatures forecast for other capitals on Sunday include 13°C in Melbourne, 20°C in Perth, 16°C in Adelaide, 11°C in Hobart, 13°C in Canberra, and a warm 31°C in Darwin.
