Heavy rain and low temperatures are expected across many regions of the nation as a broad wet weather pattern extends from Australia's western to eastern coasts.
Heavy rainfall affected most of the nation during the past week, with all states and territories experiencing extensive precipitation — the highest amount recorded this year for numerous areas.
A powerful low-pressure area combined with a cold front and deep depression formed overWestern Australia's south-west on Sunday.
Perthsaw its most rainfall-filled day of the year following intense winds, torrential rain, hail, and thunderstorms.
A rainy weather system is expected to move east on Monday, according to Angus Hines, a meteorologist from the Bureau of Meteorology, who has cautioned that it will cause poor weather conditions.
"The front will pass through the southern part of Western Australia and enter South Australia on Monday, bringing rain and a lot of hail," he stated.
Showers will subside in the south-east, bringing an additional 2-10mm. Scattered precipitation across much ofSouth Australia, NSW and southern Queenslandon Tuesday, rain is possible in Victoria andTasmania.'
Mr. Hines mentioned that the weather system would also result in colder air and snowfall in the mountain regions of New South Wales and Victoria.
He mentioned that cold winds and scattered showers would persist, bringing light, wet conditions to most areas south of a line running across the country from Perth to Port Macquarie.
A sunny day is predicted for Thursday, while rain and chilly breezes are anticipated on Friday in the nation's south-east region.
"Occasional more intense downpours or thunderstorms might occur, but we'll need to wait until nearer the time to verify the specifics," Mr. Hines stated.
A band of rain might develop over north-east Queensland, while another moisture-laden front is barely touching the doorstep of the west coast as it approaches for the weekend.
Weatherzone meteorologist Yoska Hernandez mentioned a massive low-pressure system, covering almost half the nation, which will also lead to colder weather in southern and eastern regions of Australia this week.
As the large cold front moves eastward, temperatures in Melbourne and Adelaide are forecasted to have difficulty climbing into the mid-teens.
Canberra might only reach a high of 10C daily, with temperatures falling to a chilly 0C on Thursday.
Sydney's lowest temperatures will stay under 10C throughout the week, with daytime highs in the middle of the teens that feel quite cold.
The temperature in Hobart is expected to drop to a low of 3C, while daytime highs are predicted to range from 11C to 13C.
