A cold front has hit part of the state overnight, bringing wet and windy conditions and a relatively cold maximum temperature in Adelaide.
A top of just 20C is forecast in the city today, much cooler than the searing temperatures experienced in January. Thanks to a cold front that swept across South Australia overnight, there has also been some wet and wild conditions. Although only a spatter of rain has been recorded at West Tce since 9am on Monday, there is certainly a lot of moisture in the air this morning. Latest readings at Adelaide's West Tce station show a 79% level of relative humidity. As for wind, the highest recorded wind gust around the metropolitan area was 63 km/h in Edinburgh about 5.15am today. South of Adelaide, in Kuitpo, a whopping gust of 91 km/h was recorded just before 5am. Nearly 2000 properties are without power today, most of which are in the Adelaide Hills region. Belair, Crafers, Hawthorndene and Stirling are among the hardest hit. Falls of up to 3mm are expected in Adelaide, but Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Simon Timke says the windy conditions rapidly pushed the rain away. "It has been fairly windy overnight, and I think that will continue for most of the day." "There's almost a wintry feel to it today." Only 0.8mm has been recorded at Adelaide's West Tce since 9am on Monday, while Kent Town and the airport received 1.6mm and 2.8mm respectively.
