The Bureau of Meteorology’s 2024 summer long-range forecast shows we’re in for warmer than average temperatures this year.
We can also expect more than usual summer rainfall, particularly in December.
The highest chance for above-average rainfall is in December, when wetter conditions are likely across the state.

Average summer rainfall in recent decades has been between 300 and 1200mm along most of the state’s east into the north.

Severe thunderstorms are more common in the warmer months, bringing heavy rainfall, damaging winds, large hail and the risk of flooding anywhere.
