The Bureau of Meterology has released a severe weather warning for damaging winds for the Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island and other areas of the state.

The warning was issued at 4:59 pm Monday, 30 May 2022.

DAMAGING WINDS averaging 70 km/h with peak gusts in excess of 90 km/h are possible over the Mid North, Mount Lofty Ranges, Kangaroo Island and parts of Yorke Peninsula, Murraylands, Upper South East, and Lower South East districts from the early hours of Tuesday morning, easing during Tuesday evening.

Locations which may be affected include Mount Gambier, Clare, Murray Bridge, Kingscote, Hawker and Jamestown.

Weather Situation: A deep low pressure system moving to New South Wales this evening is resulting in strong and gusty southwesterly winds over much of eastern South Australia, with damaging winds possible over the Flinders Ranges for the remainder of this evening. Southwesterly flow will strengthen over the south and southeast of South Australia in the early hours of Tuesday morning as a series of troughs move in from the Southern Ocean, bringing a risk of damaging winds until Tuesday evening.

DAMAGING WINDS averaging 70 km/h with peak gusts in excess of 90 km/h are possible over the Flinders, North East Pastoral, and Mid North districts, easing later this evening.

Severe weather is no longer occurring in the West Coast, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Riverland and North West Pastoral districts and the warning for these districts is CANCELLED.
