A powerful cold front is set to move across most of Australia this week, delivering what some experts are describing as a ‘rain bomb’.
The system will bring cold air into SA by the end of Wednesday with the cooler temperatures hitting Victoria, Tasmania and NSW later in the week.
The drop in temperature will be accompanied by cloud cover, rain, storms and strong winds making it feel even colder.
Weatherzone meteorologist James Rout told Daily Mail Australia a number of weather systems are setting the stage for rain in areas across south western, southern, south eastern and eastern Australia during the next seven to 10 days.
“We’ve got a high pressure system, which is to the east of Australia and what that’s doing is bringing moisture from the Coral Sea and the Tasman Sea, getting the stage set for rainfall,” Mr Rout said.
“The system we’ve currently got is a weak trough over the inland eastern part of the country, which will bring some rain on Monday and Tuesday for Victoria.
“But the main rain bank system is a cold front expected in the middle of the week, which is currently in Western Australia.”
