Through early next week much of the south-east will wake to temperatures near freezing, and along the ranges minimums should plunge to around -5 degrees Celsius.
South-east Australia is collectively shivering through a prolonged spell of bleak wintry weather — a pattern that will linger for at least another week.
Temperatures today will again remain below average across many regions, with the most extreme anomalies under thick cloud and rain from south-east SA, through western and central Victoria to southern NSW. So why are temperatures so low? Occasionally the coldest days in Australia result from cloudy skies and light winds, without an injection of very cold air from the south.
This process was clearly evident across Melbourne on Thursday — after a relatively mild overnight low of 8.3C, the city spent the day under cloud and drizzle, leading to only a two-degree increase in the temperature, and a maximum well below the forecast of 13C.
The heaviest falls today will stretch from Adelaide to the Mallee and Wimmera, where an average total of around 5mm to 15mm should accumulate by midnight.
