It may be late August, but the weather pattern doesn’t play by the rules.

Earlier this month we moved into a weather pattern where a new, big rain system affects some part of the country every few days.

The freezing cold Antarctic air coming from the south has made our winter freezing. But some capitals are up for some good news.

We’ve entered ‘peak’ winter weather patterns, with a series of cold fronts impacting southern Australia.

The weather system is crossing with damaging wind gusts, abnormally high tides, dust storms contrasting with heavy rain, bitterly cold air, and even snow on the ranges.

The long weekend traditionally marks the beginning of the snow season, and this year it will be filled with it.

May was projected to be very dry for much of Australia - and that is exactly how it turned out.

There are lots of features aligning to make a proper alpine snow event occur early next week - Finally!

It is an exceptional situation.
