00:00Hello from the Bureau of Meteorology. Let's take a look at the weather around the country for the

00:04spookiest day of the year, Thursday the 31st of October. Nothing too scary in the forecast,

00:09although we will see a bit of a change compared to recent days for parts of the south and east,

00:14with some cooler winds, showers and a few thunderstorms developing around those regions.

00:18There's also some widespread showery and stormy weather across the tropics,

00:22with the weather elsewhere dominated by high pressure, fine conditions and warm temperatures.

00:28In Queensland we'll see a couple of areas of shower and storm development,

00:31one of which is in the southeast. During the afternoon hours we'll see some showers and the

00:36chance of a thunderstorm develop around Brisbane, stretching up into the Darling Downs,

00:41up into the Wide Bay, the Burnett and even parts of the Capricornia. In the far side of the state,

00:46around Gulf Country, we could also see some showers and storms, and maybe some damaging

00:50wind gusts. Away from either corner though, we've got fine, settled and warm weather

00:55for the remainder of the state. Across New South Wales, showers are expected to develop along much

01:00of the coastline, but mostly after about 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so it's a pretty nice

01:05start to the day. The evening will bring a risk of storms to some of these areas, maybe even some

01:10severe thunderstorms, for inland parts of the Illawarra, the Sydney metro area, the Hunter area

01:16and even possibly up here around northern rivers and the mid north coast. If we do see any severe

01:21thunderstorms, they could bring damaging wind gusts and large hailstones. A dry, warm day for

01:27the interior of the state. Across Victoria, a weak, cool change will move through, bringing

01:32some patchy, showery weather, mostly about in south of the mountain ranges. Not a lot is expected

01:37to build up in those rain gauges, perhaps a couple of millimetres. Not everyone will see the wet

01:42weather, but most people will notice the cooler winds that kick in throughout the day. In the

01:47southern half of the state you'll be lucky to crack 20 degrees, it will get warmer than that

01:51in the northern half of the state, potentially as high as 28, but even there temperatures will

01:56begin to cool off through the afternoon and evening. Statewide showers expected across Tasmania

02:02on Thursday, around the middle of the day, late morning and into the early afternoon, clearing up

02:06as the afternoon progresses, but then a chilly wind will stick around a high of 15 degrees in Hobart.

02:12We could see 20 degrees for some northern areas, but once that wind gets going in the afternoon,

02:17it will cool off quite quickly. A mild day along the South Australia coast with temperatures in

02:23the mid-20s, much warmer than that for interior parts of the state. Dry, settled weather with a

02:28little bit of cloud cover overhead is the name of the game for almost everyone. We do see the chance

02:33of a shower across the southeast, but of all of these urban areas, Mount Gambier is probably the

02:38only one that would get a taste of that rainfall. And the key story for Western Australia once again

02:44is heat. It's another very hot day for the western half of the country. For Thursday we've got Perth

02:50climbing to 33 degrees, Northam up to 37, and a little further north, Carratha 39 and Newman

02:5640 degrees. It's only the very far south coast where those temperatures aren't spiking so high,

03:01staying in the low or mid-20s. A dry day pretty much everywhere, but it will be fairly breezy for

03:07much of the state. Up here in the north, we've had heatwaves in play for the last several days,

03:13but with a little bit more cloud cover and potentially a bit more rainfall across northern

03:17Australia, those heatwaves are coming to a close, but it's still pretty warm up in this part of the

03:22country. Mid-30s to low 40s for many areas, so if you're out in the sun, in between those showers

03:27and storms, it's going to be a toasty day. We could see thunderstorms across the Kimberley and

03:33across the top end of the Northern Territory, unlikely to see any of those showers or storms

03:37push inland, but maybe a little bit of cloud cover spreading through central parts of the NT.

03:42So there is a bit of weather going on for the next couple of days. Do stay up to date

03:46with what your forecast says at the Bureau website and app. Thanks for watching.
