The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has issued a forecast detailing significant weather patterns expected across several eastern Australian states this week, with record-breaking October temperatures anticipated in South Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales.
Sydney and Brisbane are projected to experience peak temperatures in the high 30s. Dean Narramore, a senior meteorologist at the BoM, described Wednesday as "a very big day of weather" for the south-east, indicating the potential for new temperature records in parts of New South Wales.
Alongside the elevated temperatures, the forecast also includes the possibility of thunderstorms, which may be accompanied by damaging and destructive winds, affecting areas such as southern Victoria, south-east South Australia, and the south coast of New South Wales. Detailed capital city forecasts outline the specific daily weather outlook for various regions.
