Moist onshore flow can produce substantial rainfall against the escarpment, including during east coast low events. Summer southerly changes can replace hot conditions abruptly, whereas winter fronts may bring gusty winds before a ridge rebuilds across the region.
What this means for you
For commuting between the coastal plain and higher ground, compare rainfall and wind with current barometric pressure. Add travel disruption and changes in exposure to a migraine tracker app so that the diary reflects more than the timing of an offshore low.
