The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for Adelaide and much of South Australia, with damaging winds, heavy rain, and potential flash flooding expected from this afternoon into tomorrow. The warning covers the Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide metropolitan area, and parts of the Eyre Peninsula, so it’s worth checking your plans if you’re heading out.
What areas are under the severe weather warning today?
The current severe weather warning for South Australia stretches from the Mount Lofty Ranges across to the Adelaide plains, with a fresh system pushing in from the west. The bureau expects damaging wind gusts of up to 90 kilometres per hour, particularly along the coast and in elevated areas, with heavy rainfall that could lead to localised flooding in low-lying spots. If you’re in the city or the hills, keep an eye on the severe weather warning page for updates as the system moves through.
Will the severe weather warning for Adelaide continue tomorrow?
Yes, the weather warning for Adelaide tomorrow remains active as the low-pressure system lingers over the region. The bureau’s latest models show the rain easing by late morning, but the wind may stick around into the afternoon, particularly in southern suburbs. For a detailed look at how it tracks, check the Australia weather warnings page for the full forecast timeline.
What should I do if a severe weather warning is issued for my area?
Stay indoors if you can, away from windows and trees. Secure loose items around your property, like bins or outdoor furniture, and avoid driving through flooded roads—just six inches of flowing water can sweep a car. Monitor the BOM’s radar for real-time updates.
Is this the same as a thunderstorm warning?
Not quite. A severe weather warning covers broader hazards like damaging winds and heavy rain, while a thunderstorm warning is more specific to isolated storms. This Adelaide warning includes both, but the main risk is sustained wind and widespread rain rather than lightning.
