Will Australias Cold Weather Continue Into the Long Weekend?
Im sure those of you on the East Coast of Australia have noticed but its a bit chilly outside. Large parts of Australia are currently shivering through an icy cold snap that has even brought out snow in some regional areas of the country. As reported by The Guardian, temperatures in NSW were setting 5 to 10 degrees below average and QLD also felt the chill with temps dropping 10C below average. Sydney experienced its coldest day in 37 years this week with temperatures barely rising above 10 degrees. 50mm of snow was reported at Perisher in NSW, kicking off the snow season earlier than usual. The good news is that the worst of the cold seems to be over so we can enjoy some slightly warmer temps over the weekend. Heres the forecast for all of Australias capital cities thanks to BOM. *Note: QLD and WA do not get a public holiday on Monday.
