Chance of thunderstorms in SA on Monday – but what will it be like for Australia v India test?

You’ll need to keep your brolly handy on Monday, with a hot and humid day forecast across SA, along with the chance of severe thunderstorms – which are set to return in time for the cricket.

A warm day is predicted right across the state on Monday, with showers developing and the chance of severe thunderstorms.

The Bureau of Meteorology is tipping a dry morning for Adelaide with a chance of showers later, most likely during this afternoon and evening, and a top of 33C for Monday.

A chance of a thunderstorm has also been forecast from late this morning across the metropolitan areas.

Storm activity is most likely across the Flinders area with Port Augusta set for a top of 35C with a high chance of showers, becoming less likely this evening.

The region is also bracing for thunderstorms, possibly severe.

The muggy conditions and rain are tipped for much of the state with Keith in the state’s Upper South-East, Murray Bridge in the Murraylands and Port Pirie in the Mid North all set for a top of 34C with showers developing.

Tuesday is tipped to be cooler across the state with showers clearing before heating up again heading into the weekend with the chance of showers returning.

What to expect weather wise at the Australia v India test

Meanwhile, cricket fans can expect varied conditions for this weekend’s Australia v India five-day test match beginning on Friday at Adelaide Oval.

The Bureau of Meteorology is currently predicting a minimum temperature of 22C for the first day of the test with a top of 34C.

Despite these warmer conditions, it might be worth packing an umbrella as there is a possibility of rain with the bureau website noting a “chance of a thunderstorm”.

“While it’s too early for details, there is certainly a chance this rain could impact the first day’s play,” a bureau spokesman said.

While this could be cause for concern, a high-pressure area could move into the Great Australia Bight, bringing with it a cool change and hopefully better playing conditions for the Aussies.

This should maintain dry and mostly sunny conditions, which could continue for multiple days, potentially until the end of the match.

With the countdown on to the blockbuster event, the ­bureau recommends attendees keep an eye on the forecast as there is still plenty of time for weather patterns to change and evolve.
