September weather forecast
Australia

September in Australia marks the dawn of spring, a month characterized by rejuvenation, blossoming flora, and gradually warming temperatures that herald the retreat of winter.

Central Australia, which has been known for its significant temperature differences between day and night, begins to experience more consistently warm days. The chilling grasp during nights begins to wane, although it's advisable to retain a light jacket for the cooler evenings.

The Northern Territory's dry spell starts showing hints of cessation. The landscapes, which were dominated by arid hues, slowly start witnessing sporadic green patches. It's also during September that the sky occasionally presents cloud clusters, foreshadowing the impending wet season.

Queensland embraces spring with open arms. The western regions, which started warming up in August, now resonate with clear sunny days and temperatures that are pleasantly moderate. The central parts of Queensland embrace a definitive warmth, with days becoming lengthier and nights shorter.

Western Australia's interiors continue their departure from the intense dryness of the previous months. The presence of moisture becomes more evident, and there's a discernible uptick in rainfall, though it remains sporadic. In New South Wales, the transformation is vivid. The eastern highlands, which were blanketed in snow a month ago, now predominantly display lush green landscapes with remnants of melting snow.

South Australia basks in the glow of spring. The chill of mornings and evenings becomes less pronounced, and mid-day sun ushers in a warmth that's indicative of the impending summer. Tasmania, while still cool, experiences a distinct softening of its temperatures. The frosty mornings become less frequent, and there's an increase in the island's greenery, with flora starting to blossom.

Victoria, especially its alpine regions, undergoes a noticeable shift. The Victorian Alps, which were a hub for winter sports, start seeing a receding snowline. The melting snow feeds the rivers, making them gush with renewed vigour.
