Many cities and towns in south-eastern Australia shivered through their coldest morning so far this year. Sub-zero temperatures brought frost to places including Glenn Innes and Young with -5, Camden with -1 and Tamworth with -2! Even Richmond (NSW)and Charlesville (QLD) woke up to their first frost for the year.
Day-time temperatures are also well below average across much of southern and eastern Australia. Check out the following forecast maximum temperatures today!
- Toowoomba, QLD: 16 degrees (4 below average)
- Mt Isa, QLD: 22 degrees (6 below average)
- Orange, NSW: 6 degrees (8 below average)
- Young, NSW: 10 degrees (8 below average)
- Ballarat, VIC: 7 degrees (7 below average)
- Melbourne, VIC: 13 degrees (4 below average)
- Hobart, TAS: 11 degrees (3 below average)
- Launceston, TAS: 12 degrees (4 below average)
- Renmark, SA: 16 degrees (4 below average)
- Adelaide, SA: 16 degrees (3 below average)
And if this isn't bad enough, icy south-westerly winds will make it "feel" a few degrees colder!
Snow has also been coating the NSW and VIC slopes and ranges. Most alpine areas have had around 10cm of snow but I've also had reports of 15-20cm at Mt Buller this morning (See pic by Tony Harrington above).
The cold snap is here to stay for the rest of the week and for some places, tonight may be even colder than last night so rug up!
