SA weather forecast: Warm weather sets in for Mother’s Day weekend

If you’re in the process of moving your weekend plans inside, no need – this week’s winter conditions are set to make way for a weekend of sunshine. See the forecast.

After wet and cold conditions throughout the week, the sun will shine this weekend in time for Mother’s Day.

In Adelaide the weather will be partly cloudy on Friday with a top of 19C and a medium chance of showers.

On the weekend, the mercury will rise to 21C on Saturday and as high as 23C on Sunday with sunny and clear conditions for Mother’s Day.

“This weekend will be dominated by settled conditions,” Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Mark Anolak said.

“There’s a strong high pressure system over the Tasman and that’s bringing stable conditions.”

He said the weather at this time of year goes through a “stable period”.
