Sydney to suffer through more wintry weather after recording coldest day of the year - with worse yet to come
According to Weatherzone.com.au temperatures on Wednesday stayed at 11 degrees, but a low windchill made it feel like 8, and the weather expected to deteriorate further over the course of the week.
On Thursday, the city will wake to similar conditions as a low-pressure system heads towards the New South Wales coast - with the temperature not expected to rise above 14 degrees.
While the worst of the weather is not expected until Saturday, parts of the mid north coast and the Hunter will still wake to gloomy and wet conditions on Thursday, with temperatures in Coffs Harbour reaching 17 degrees, whilst in Newcastle, temperatures will be around 13.
Across the capital cities tomorrow, Darwin will reach a temperature of 31 degrees with sunny spells while Brisbane will start with a low of 10 before slowly climbing to 19 degrees with sunny spells.
Sunny and overcast conditions await people in Canberra with a low of 2 and a high of 12, while people living in Melbourne will see a cold day with highs of 13.
Hobart will see temperatures of 11 degrees with sunny spells and overcast conditions with a low of 4 degrees to start Thursday.
Adelaide will have a mild start to the day with highs of 13 degrees, and in Perth, residents will see a warm day with highs of 19.
Mr Sharpe said the conditions in New South Wales will get worse as the week goes on.
'When compared to the Bomb Cyclone from a few weeks ago this event will be longer lived with a similar amount of rain in Sydney and less for the Illawarra, but more for the Hunter.
'Wind during the daytime will likely reach similar heights - although not quite as windy as the Bomb Cyclone got during the overnight hours.
'The big difference will be that the temperatures will be consistently lower - making this event feel significantly colder.

Massive rain band to belt millions
A massive rain band stretching from the Australian interior all the way to the Indian Ocean is crawling towards the east coast, and is expected to bring showers to large parts of Queensland and New South Wales as it rolls its way into the Pacific Ocean. Sky News meteorologist Rob Sharpe said Sydney would be settling in for 'colder, wet weather' for the next couple of days. The rain band is thousands of kilometres in length and stretches from Australia's eastern states, all the way out into the Indian Ocean. BOM Credit: Supplied 'It doesn't look as wet as what we saw over that five-day stretch where most of Sydney saw more than 10mm of rain, but it does look like most of Sydney will see 50mm primarily from Friday to Monday with a series of showers,' he said. 'I'm already thinking of changing my plans (on Saturday) because of the forecast, and I'm sure many other people are as well.' Mr Sharpe said Sydney wouldn't be dealing with the wet weather in isolation, with large parts of the NSW coastline expecting 'plenty of showers through the weekend'. 'Inland parts of NSW will also get a little bit of wet weather, most likely on Friday,' Mr Sharpe said. Mr Sharpe said Queenslanders can also expect to endure a deluge, with rain 'picking up (on) Friday across the state'. Sydney's forecast for Thursday is a minimum of 11C with a max of 17C and early showers. Melbourne can expect a cool minimum of 5C and a max of 14C with a 10 per cent chance of showers. Brisbane is expecting a tidy 13C minimum with a warm max temp of 23C and a 20 per cent chance of rain. Perth will miss the rain, with a minimum temp of 7C, a max of 21C and dry conditions throughout the day. Adelaide is expecting a minimum of 7C, a max of 16C and a slight chance of rain, roughly 10 per cent. Canberra will endure a chilly low of 0C, and the day will level out with a max of 14C and dry conditions. Hobart is expecting a minimum temp of 5C and a max of 14C with a 20 per cent chance of rain.

Sydney's two-day sunny reprieve to end as cold wet weather returns for east coast and some inland regions
Sydneysiders have been warned to consider changing their weekend plans as the two-day sunny reprieve from a bout of heavy rain is set to end. More cold, wet weather is expected to return for the east coast of NSW and some inland regions from Thursday. The Bureau of Meteorology said showers would develop across eastern NSW and inland Queensland on Thursday and would spread across much of both states on Friday. Sky News meteorologist Rob Sharpe said Sydney should expect showers in the morning and 'colder, wet weather' which will be 'coming and going' for the rest of this week and into the next one. 'It doesn't look as wet as what we saw over that five days stretch where most of Sydney saw more than 100 millimetres of rain but that does look like most of Sydney will see 50 millimetres, primarily from Friday to Monday with a series of showers,' Sharpe said. Sharpe said Saturday would likely be the 'wettest day of the week'. 'I'm already thinking of changing my plans because of the forecast and I'm sure many other people are as well,' he said. 'But it won't just be Sydney, it's up and down the New South Wales coast. We'll see plenty of showers through the weekend and out until one day before it eases back on Tuesday.' He said 'hopefully that's the end', but there were no guarantees. 'Inland parts of New South Wales will also get a little bit of wet weather, most likely on Friday, but it's not nearly as substantial as the rain that happened last week in those parts,' he said. As for Queenslanders, Sharpe said residents in the sunshine state ought to 'get their washing done ASAP'. 'The rain will start picking up Friday across the state and Saturday, but then their rain won't last too long. 'But for Sydney-siders, if you're lucky, you might be able to hang out the washing late on Thursday and get a drive before the rain kicks in again Friday onwards.' Forecasts for Thursday Sydney - Min 11, Max 17 with a chance of early showers. Melbourne - Min 5, Max 14 with a 10 per cent chance of showers. Brisbane - Min 13, Max 23 with a 20 per cent chance of rain. Perth - Min 7, Max 21 with dry conditions. Adelaide - Min 7, Max 16 with a 10 per cent chance of rain. Canberra - Min 0, Max 14 with dry conditions. Hobart - Min 5, Max 14 with a 20 per cent change of rain.
