Australian Forecast – A Windy ol’ Week with Sunny Skies between Bouts of Rain
Published early Monday, 15th September 2025
This work week across the Aussie Alps, sunny skies will be interspersed with bouts of rain as fronts roll through Tuesday and Friday. Strong northwesterlies are the theme, with gales whipping over the ranges as rain sweeps in. The first front will leave a dusting of snow on the upper slopes, and cold air arriving on the backside of Friday’s front will kick off several days of snowfall.
Monday 15th September
A sunny day with strengthening northwest winds.
Tuesday 16th September
A rough day with gale northwest winds as a front spreads rain eastwards over the Aussie Alps in the morning. Behind the front, the rain pins back to showers over Victoria in the afternoon and New South at night, with a dusting of snow falling about the upper slopes. The northwesterlies also back off behind the front.
Wednesday 17th September
Any remaining snow flurries in New South Wales will clear early, leaving mostly sunny skies. Cloud and snow flurries linger in Victoria till late. Strong west-to-northwest winds gradually abate.
Thursday 18th September
Mostly sunny, apart from a bit of cloud in Victoria, along with northwest winds.
Friday 19th September
Another rough day as a front from the west spreads rain over the Aussie Alps and northwest winds strengthen, reaching gale force in exposed areas. Cold air arrives at night, turning rain into snow.
Extended Forecast
Strong, cold and unsettled winds from the west will bring more snow to the Aussie Alps this weekend into early next week, with a solid top-up of powder on the cards. It’ll be a great addition to the snow pack for this time of year. High pressure and warmer temperatures are then expected to dominate much of the latter half of next week.
That’s all from me today, folks. I’m sending out these forecasts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the season. Have a great couple of days, and I’ll see you back here on Wednesday.
