Australian Weekly Weather Replay
The south-west of Western Australia saw multiple cold fronts this week. These fronts brought about good rainfall to some locations with gauges registering 50-100mm. Top three places were Worsley Downs (101.8mm), Huntly (84.7mm) and Jarrahdale (80.4mm).
Tasmania, Victoria and southern parts of South Australia also got some rainfall as these fronts pushed east. However with the colder air and moisture came decent snowfalls.

The cold weather has also meant some wildlife have had to eat some frozen greens.

Storm chasers got a nice winter surprise as Brisbane CBD just missed out on a thunderstorm Saturday night and Melbourne also got close to seeing some thunderstorms on Monday night as a cold front advanced across the state.

Meanwhile our friends in New Zealand have been experiencing the impacts of a deep low pressure system which has brought about heavy rain and strong wind gusts.
