Burst of spring-like weather forecast after parts of NSW colder than Antarctica
A taste of spring-like warmth will offer Sydneysiders a reprieve from frigid winter weather early next week after parts of NSW woke to conditions colder than Antarctica on the weekend's winter solstice. A high of 22 degrees will arrive on Monday, the Bureau of Meteorology forecasts, as a burst of warm air moving east across the continent drives June temperatures 5 degrees above average before the winds of winter return from Tuesday. Towns across NSW ushered in Saturday's winter solstice with their coldest morning in years. Canberra recorded a pre-dawn temperature of -7.6 degrees – its coldest June morning in 39 years. Forbes shivered through a low of -5.5 degrees, the coldest June morning there in 27 years, and Cowra had its coldest dawn in a decade at -3.1 degrees. Loading Goulburn and Cooma out-iced Antarctica, hitting respective lows of -10 and -8.6 degrees on Saturday morning and offering residents a taste of what it's like to wake up within the polar circle: Antarctica's Davis Station clocked -8.4 degrees at the same time, according to Weatherzone. The frosty snap was caused by a high-pressure system parked over south-east Australia, keeping a dry and cold air mass over inland NSW. The winter solstice marks the day of the year with the shortest daylight hours (nine hours and 54 minutes for Sydney) which contributed to the frosty morning. 'We've had clear skies, light winds, and at the moment the nights are longest, which means we can really lose heat overnight,' bureau meteorologist Gabrielle Woodhouse said.

Cold front to sweep across southeast Australia
By Published: Updated: A powerful cold front will sweep across Australia's southeast this week, delivering biting winds, showers, and a dusting of alpine snow to multiple regions. The system will impact major cities, including Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, and Hobart, along with surrounding areas in South Australia, Victoria, southeast New South Wales, and Tasmania. The front will move in from the west, crossing South Australia on Monday before advancing east through Victoria, Tasmania, and southeast New South Wales by Tuesday. The strongest winds will batter SA over the afternoon, with the capital and the Mount Lofty Ranges region most likely to receive gusts of up to 75km/h, according to Weatherzone. As the system reaches Victoria, Melbourne and elevated regions like the Dandenong Ranges could see winds peaking at 90km/h. Canberra and coastal areas around Sydney may experience gusts up to 80km/h, while Tasmania's capital, Hobart, and its alpine regions brace for similar wind speeds of 85km/h. Sydney can expect daytime highs ranging from 16C to 19C, while overnight lows dip to between 6C and 8C, with some very brisk winter mornings in store. Melbourne is experiencing cooler conditions, with daytime highs between 13C and 15C and overnight lows dropping to as low as 6C. Snow is forecast to fall as low as 1,200 meters in the alpine regions on Monday night, with resorts such as Thredbo and Perisher in New South Wales and Mount Buller in Victoria expected to be affected, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. BoM meteorologist Helen Reid told Daily Mail Australia that the cloud band associated with the front has already crossed South Australia and is now moving over Victoria. 'That cloud band is bringing in a couple of showers with it and then behind that we'll have that really cold air coming through,' she said. 'It's just still sitting off the coast, it hasn't quite got into South Australia yet either. Northern Queensland, including Cairns and Townsville, will see significant rainfall from Monday, extending inland and north of Yeppoon through Tuesday before clearing by Wednesday. In Western Australia, a separate cold front will bring showers to Perth and the state's southeast, including Albany, on Wednesday.
