The thundery finish to spring is not just random weather variability, but a likely indication of the probable weather patterns through December.
South-east states are currently baking in temperatures up to 17 degrees above average, while a near nationwide outbreak of thunderstorms is brewing through the final days of spring.
A wet end to spring as a solid soaking hits most of Australia, with pockets even seeing around 100mm through the next eight days.The burst of late spring heat is due to a hot northerly airstream being squeezed south between a high-pressure system in the Tasman Sea and a trough of low pressure approaching from central Australia.
Typically, cool changes take around 24 hours to move from Melbourne to Sydney, however the change will stall on Sunday and lead to a continuation of a heatwave across southern and central NSW into the new week. Earlier this week the system brought near-record falls to Western Australia, including 65mm at Kalgoorlie, about four times their monthly average.
