The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) has gone negative – what this means for Australia

Plenty of Sydney sunshine and heavy rain and snow in Tasmania will be some of the impacts caused this week by a negative Southern Annular Mode (SAM) that has just developed in the Southern Hemisphere.

Low-level snow coming to Tasmania this week

Snow could fall in higher parts of Hobart later this week as a polar air mass causes temperatures to plummet across Tasmania.

Cold mornings and persistent fog chills southeastern Australia

A strong high pressure system has delivered some of the coldest weather in years across parts of Australia, with many residents reaching for an extra blanket overnight as freezing mornings gripped the southeast, as well as unusually chilly conditions extended far north into Western Australia and the Northern Territory under a very dry atmosphere.

Persistent rain and large waves to hit southeast Queensland and northeast NSW

A developing low pressure system off southeast Queensland is slowly edging towards the coast today and is expected to bring a period of severe coastal weather to southeast Queensland and northeast New South Wales.

Low-level snow coming to Tasmania this week

Snow could fall in higher parts of Hobart later this week as a polar air mass causes temperatures to plummet across Tasmania.
