Thunderstorms are likely to hit Australia's south-east over the weekend as "very humid" weather normally felt in the Far North takes hold, the Bureau of Meteorology warns.
Dew points — which are a measure of how much moisture is in the air — were forecast to rise above 20 degrees in parts of South Australia, Victoria and NSW."Through the next few days, it's going to feel more like a stretch of weather in Darwin than what you're used to down here."Mr Hines said severe thunderstorms were possible around Adelaide and much of South Australia, as well as north-western parts of Melbourne and western Victoria.
"That could lead to dangerous driving conditions, and strong winds with some of these storms could damage trees and bring power outages with fallen power lines."
