THE catastrophic weather conditions yesterday saw multiple locations break November maximum heat records, but the Bureau of Meteorology says the change is here.
Bureau of Meteorology supervising meteorologist Paul Lainio said while severe fire weather was still forecast for Mount Lofty Ranges, Mid North and Riverland this morning, conditions has eased with cooler temperatures, higher humidity and gradually decreasing winds.
"The change will continue to move over the far North East today," he said.
Mr Lainio warned of raised dust over parts of the North East when that change came, while dust storms had also plagued the Riverland and North East Pastoral districts this morning.
"Smoke haze from fires on the Yorke Peninsula was observed over the Adelaide metropolitan area early this morning, but it has now cleared the metropolitan area," he said.
"Unfortunately, no significant rainfall accompanied today's change. And unfortunately the outlook for rainfall is not looking great.
"The Climate Outlook for November to January suggests drier and warmer than average conditions."
Locations that broke November maximum heat records yesterday included the Nullarbor at 46.6 degrees Celcius (former record of 45.3°C); Murray Bridge Airport at 45.3°C (up from 43.3°C); Keith at 44.3° beat November record of 41.9°C; Lameroo 44°C (former record of 42.5°C), Kingscote SE at 41°C (beat 38.8°C) and Padthaway South 40.7°C (previous record 38.7°C).
