We saw the best rain in years reach parts of the Murray Basin last week and there is more on the way. Onshore winds from the Tasman Sea are continuing to pump masses of moisture over eastern Australia and it's even reaching as far as Victoria and South Australia. This explains why it has been so humid and sticky across both states, including Adelaide and Melbourne.
Because there is so much moist air hanging around, it doesn't take a big weather system to bring decent rain. From Thursday this week, a weak trough will cross the southeast and tap into the moisture source, triggering widespread rain over the Murray Basin right up until the weekend. By Sunday, widespread falls of 10mm+ and up to 50mm are possible.
