Monsoon Update
Ex TC Lincoln has moved West to the WA border and should keep going until it reaches the coast near Broome. It should then head a little out to sea and move more SW. There is the chance it could reform, but one day at a time for now. We are probably watching the monsoon head into reverse as we see the pulse move back to the West over the next week or two. For more detail check out this blog on the movement of the monsoon currently.
National
Rain, storms, and showers across the tropics, heaviest in the northwest due to ex Tropical Cyclone Lincoln. Showers and storms in Tas, Qld, NSW, and Vic due to humid, unstable onshore airflow. High-pressure system keeping elsewhere largely dry.
Synoptic | Temp/Rain | Wind | Sea Surface Temp
