00:00G'day from the Bureau with your national weather forecast around the country for

00:04Thursday the 8th of May. And we can see high pressure continues to dominate the

00:10weather across much of the country and unfortunately that's continuing to see

00:14dry warm and sunny conditions for many parts of the country. Not good news for

00:19those in the south that are wanting rainfall. The only wet weather will be

00:23occurring across parts of the country on Thursday. There's some showers

00:27through parts of Tasmania, coastal New South Wales and coastal parts of

00:31Queensland and maybe the odd shower or storm across the Cape York Peninsula as

00:36well. Otherwise it will be another dry day across the country. Now let's look at all

00:40of that in more detail. Firstly in Queensland we can see warm and sunny

00:46conditions continuing from any of our inland areas. Mostly a couple of

00:49showers as I mentioned earlier across the coastal parts through the North

00:53Tropical Coast and Cape York Peninsula and maybe some offshore showers for

00:57some of the islands around the central coast but generally you can see

00:59sunshine for many of our coastal locations except for maybe the far

01:03southeast corner. Brisbane looking another warm and sunny one 27 degrees

01:09with partly cloudy skies. Moving down into New South Wales that warm dry theme

01:14will continue for much of the state with temperatures in the low to mid 20s for

01:19coastal areas and high teens to low 20s through inland areas. Now later in the day

01:24we'll see some showers develop around the central and northern coastal parts of New

01:28South Wales but further south of the south coast and inland areas should stay dry on

01:34Thursday. Sydney looking at a couple of showers possible and 21 degrees. Canberra

01:39partly cloudy skies and 19. Moving down into Victoria after that cold front whip

01:45through the south on Wednesday we're going to see dry conditions return to parts of the

01:50state on Thursday and much cooler than what we saw earlier this week with

01:55temperatures pretty much in the mid to high teens statewide from the north to the

02:00south with partly cloudy conditions likely. Could be windy around our coastal areas

02:04though. Melbourne are partly cloudy 17 degrees and that's 10 degrees cooler than

02:09what we saw on Tuesday. Moving down into Tasmania we had a burst of winter weather on

02:15on today and through Wednesday across much of Tasmania but on Thursday that's going to

02:20clear for much of the state. Could see showers about the west and southern coast and

02:25early on we could see snow down to around 600 metres around the southwest. Otherwise the

02:30north and east will stay mostly dry with partly cloudy skies and cool conditions

02:35continuing with temperatures in the low to mid teens. Hobart a partly cloudy 14 degrees.

02:42Moving up into South Australia dry warm and sunny weather will continue for much of the

02:48state. Not good news for those wanting rain as this high pressure continues to

02:53dominate the weather. Temperatures in the high 20s in the north low 20s to high teens

02:58in the south and partly cloudy skies likely. Adelaide a partly cloudy 20 degrees. Moving down

03:05into Western Australia it is warm and it is dry across much of the state. Temperatures in the low to mid

03:1130s across northern parts of WA. But that heat also moving south as well with temperatures in the

03:17high 20s to near 30 degrees through southern parts of WA. And that's pretty unusual for this late in the

03:24year. Perth a warm dry and sunny 30 degrees. And finally across the tropical north dry season

03:31really has commenced across the northern areas with dry and hot conditions through the Kimberley,

03:35top end and parts of the Cape York. As I mentioned earlier though just a couple of showers around

03:40the far northern areas of Cape York and inland parts of the NT will remain dry warm and partly cloudy

03:47with temperatures in the mid to high 20s. Darwin looking at 34 degrees and partly cloudy skies.

03:53Now if you want the latest forecast for your area remember you can always get it via our website and

03:58the BOM Weather app and we'll see you again tomorrow.
