The calendar has rolled into autumn but Australia's weather still firmly resembles mid-summer, including the most intense autumn heatwave in decades across South Australia and Victoria.
Melbourne and Adelaide should both climb close to 40C this afternoon, just below their respective records for autumn of 41.7C and 42.2C. Sunday afternoon will again reach around 40C, with only southern Tasmania, the Victorian west coast and far southern SA seeing a substantial cooling.Hot northerly winds will then blow back to the coastline on Monday, extending the spell of hot days to the longest in decades for this time of year.
While Sydney and northern NSW are not technically in a heatwave, the Harbour City has commenced a run of nine days where maximums should climb at least 3 degrees above average.It all depends on the movement of a rainband from WA, which should stream over Victoria from Wednesday. If the rainband pushes north to NSW then cooler weather will eventuate from around Friday.
