Australian Forecast – Mint Till Sunday, Rain Then Snow Next Week

Published early Friday, 20th June 2025

A big fat high drifting over the Aussie Alps will keep skies clear and calm until Sunday. After that dusting of snow earlier in the week, along with cold temperatures, we’ve got excellent early-season conditions out there.

Things will take a turn on Monday as a punchy storm from the west leads in with strong, warm and wet northwest winds. We’ll receive a fair whack of rain from late Monday, but fortunately, cold air will arrive later on Tuesday, and bring us a decent load of powder before next weekend.

Friday 20th June

An absolute stunner with clear skies, calm skies.

Saturday 21st June

Another cracker day, mild with light northwest breezes developing.

Sunday 22nd June

Mint again, with a little high cloud. Northwest winds pick up.

Monday 23rd June

Light rain or drizzle develops in the morning, then builds a little during the day, with heavy falls after dark. Strong northwest winds will blow a gale in exposed areas.

Extended Forecast

Heavy rain and strong northwest winds will continue through the first half of Tuesday, then it’ll turn to snow during the latter half of the day, with heavy snowfall coming down before it starts to back off later on Wednesday and finally clears up on Thursday. It’ll be a punchy storm with early forecasts picking between 30 and 45cm at the resorts, but about half as much for Mt Baw Baw.

This will set us up nicely for a fine, settled weekend as high pressure builds.

That’s all from me today, folks. I’m sending out these forecasts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the season. Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Monday.

Australian Forecast – Mint for the rest of the Week

Published early Wednesday, 18th June 2025

Just as we ordered, around 5-10cm of snow fell Monday night. Strong winds and snow showers continued through Tuesday, adding up to another 5cm or so, which Reggae and the crew will confirm in their morning reports. Cold temperatures have also had the snow guns firing, so we’re set up nicely for the rest of the week, which will be absolutely mint as high pressure passes over the Aussie Alps, although northwest winds will get up on Sunday. With clear, calm weather, overnight temperatures are expected to stay low enough for the snow guns to continue bulking up the main runs.

Wednesday 18th June

A nice, sunny day, although some cloud will linger about Baw Baw. West-to-southwest winds gradually die away.

Thursday 19th June

Fine with some high cloud and west-to-northwest breezes.

Friday 20th June

A calm & sunny day.

Saturday 21st June

Another cracker day, with northerly breezes developing.

Sunday 22nd June

Fine again, with a little high cloud and strengthening northwest winds.

Extended Forecast

The first half of next week isn’t looking as nice, as a storm system from the west is expected to pass over. Monday is likely to bring rain showers and strong northwest winds, followed by a bout of heavier rain on Tuesday.  A cold change should bring light snowfall to at least the upper slopes on Wednesday into Thursday, before high pressure sets in for another fine weekend.

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 Friday.
