Australians have been warned to prepare for a “bitterly cold” morning on Wednesday, 19 June 2024, as temperatures plummet to what could be the coldest day of the year so far.
A cold front sweeping in from the south will bring freezing mornings and nights, particularly affecting Sydney and Melbourne.
Wednesday is forecast to be the coldest morning of the year for both cities.
On Wednesday, Sydney’s minimum temperature could drop to six degrees, with a maximum of 18 degrees. Melbourne is expected to see temperatures plummet to three degrees with possible showers and a maximum of 12 degrees.
However, there could be some relief, as Sydney may experience “lovely winter sunshine” on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
Meanwhile, Canberra will continue to endure freezing conditions with a minimum temperature potentially dropping to -3 degrees and a maximum of 10 degrees. Brisbane will see a low of nine degrees and a high of 22 degrees.
On the west coast, Perth will be relatively chilly with a low of eight degrees and a high of 18 degrees, while Darwin enjoys a low of 17 degrees and a high of 31 degrees.
In South Australia and Tasmania, Adelaide will “shiver” with a minimum temperature of nine degrees and a high of 17 degrees, as Hobart braces for frost with a low of five degrees and a high of 12 degrees.
Towards the end of the week, temperatures are expected to rise slightly as the cold front moves away.
