As of this afternoon, the Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for Adelaide and much of South Australia, with damaging winds of up to 100 km/h expected across the Mount Lofty Ranges and Adelaide metropolitan area from late tonight into tomorrow morning.
What areas will be affected and when?
The warning covers the Adelaide metropolitan area, Mount Lofty Ranges, and parts of the Lower Flinders district, with the worst conditions predicted from around 3am tomorrow. A cold front sweeping across the state will bring north-westerly winds averaging 50–65 km/h, with peak gusts up to 100 km/h possible along the coast and elevated suburbs. This system is moving quickly, so conditions should ease by tomorrow afternoon, though the severe weather warning south australia today map shows the risk extends well beyond the city centre.
What actions should you take?
Secure loose outdoor items like trampolines, furniture and bins, as these winds are strong enough to cause property damage and power outages.

If you’re planning travel, avoid driving through floodwater; tree branches and debris may litter roads, especially in the hills. While this is primarily a wind event, there is a slight chance of localised flash flooding in low-lying areas.
