How does the 14-day forecast help plan travel?

Is the leinster radar reliable for storms?
The Bureau of Meteorology’s radar coverage for Leinster is limited due to the remote location. The nearest useful radar is at Leonora, about 230 kilometres south. For real-time storm tracking, combine leonora weather radar data with satellite imagery.
When is the best time to visit Leinster?
April to October offers the most comfortable conditions, with daytime highs of 22–30°C and cooler nights. Avoid December to February unless you are prepared for extreme heat. Always carry extra water and check severe weather warning updates before travelling.
