If you thought it was freezing this morning — you’re absolutely right. Australia’s south is in for another bitterly cold stretch, with icy temperatures expected to stick around through the weekend.
A powerful cold front is sweeping across the region, bringing freezing mornings, chilly nights, and even snow in some areas.
Jonathan How from the Bureau of Meteorology said Sydney commuters felt the chill hard this morning.
“It’s very cold and windy right now,” he said. “The feels-like temperature at the airport is around zero — and in Western Sydney, it’s closer to -1.”
And it’s not just Sydney.
In Canberra, it felt like -4°C at 7am, only creeping up to just above zero by 9am.
Melbourne Airport saw a “feels-like” of 1.2°C early on, warming slightly to 3.8°C.
In Adelaide, it was 5.8°C, reaching 6.6°C by 9am.
Over in Hobart, it was a near-freezing 1.1°C at 7am — barely budging to 1.3°C two hours later.
And guess what? More of the same is coming tonight and tomorrow morning.
The cold front even delivered snow overnight in parts of NSW, with alpine regions enjoying some decent snow dumps, and flakes spotted in Oberon.
“We’ll see the snow ease today and shift to higher ground, but the real story now is the frost,” How said.
Expect widespread frost all the way from NSW into southern Queensland, with clear skies and freezing overnight temps setting the stage.
So, if you’re heading out — whether it’s to work, the gym, or just grabbing a coffee — rug up, because this wintry blast isn’t going anywhere until at least the end of the weekend.
Stay warm out there!
