Millions of Australians are expected to experience near-freezing temperatures as a cold front moves across the country’s east coast.
It’s likely to affect Queensland and NSW. After a prolonged period of rain, Sydney finally experienced clear skies and warm temperatures this week.
Although western Sydney experienced high temperatures of up to 20 degrees Celsius, many people are going to experience a shock when the mercury drops on Sunday due to the strong winds from the south.
In eastern NSW, temperatures are expected to fall to single digits on Monday.
Colder weather is expected to arrive in Queensland on Tuesday.
It will persist into Wednesday across NSW and South Australia.
Parts of the Darling Downs, such as Toowoomba, are bracing for the coldest temperatures in two years.
Although snow is possible in the Sunshine State on Wednesday, it’s uncertain if there will be enough precipitation to trigger it.
Due to the predicted minimal rain, most parts of NSW are expected to receive less than 10 millimeters by next Friday.
Although snow isn’t likely to be significant due to the lack in precipitation, some regions in NSW may experience low levels of snow, which hasn’t been seen in the past two years.
