Australia's major centres face a variety of weather conditions leading up to Christmas Day, and for some lucky cities the rain looks set to clear in time for Santa.
The south-east cold spell should end next week followed by rain and storms leading up to ChristmasA rainy and stormy Christmas is tipped for northern Australia
The sub-polar airmass has sent temperatures 15 degrees below average and brought snow to the Alps on four consecutive days. The modelling used to produce the daily seven-day forecast has output well beyond this, so the forecast method is similar but adjusted to compensate for the lower reliability.The current cold spell will come to an end for south-east states around the middle of next week, but warm weather will only last a couple of days as a band of rain and storms sweeps across south-east Australia from Wednesday 21 to Friday 23.
While there are high hopes of a mostly dry Christmas for the south-east states, models are indicating a cold front will be passing over far south-east Australia about Christmas Day.For south-west WA the current regime of warm, dry easterly winds should continue, and that puts Perth in prime position to be the warmest capital on Christmas Day.
