"South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania are all being impacted by northerlies circulating anti-clockwise around the (high pressure system), dragging warm air southwards from the interior of the continent," Weatherzone said.

"This pattern will remain in place for several days as the high drifts east."

Dry conditions in those areas are also expected for the rest of the week.
