Tasmanians will go to the polls on a wet and windy election day, as the mainland keeps dry.
But the rest of the country will see a settled and dry day, with the east coast seeing sunshine from northern Queensland down to Victoria despite frosty conditions in the morning.
Looking at the capital cities, residents in Canberra will struggle to get out of bed in the morning, with a low of minus 5 before a partially overcast day lifts temperatures to a mild 15 degrees.
Darwin will be warm with a high of 31 degrees and a low of 19, with the same in Brisbane, with a high of 22 and a low of 11.
In New South Wales, Sydney will wake up to a cold morning with a low of 8 but will gradually warm up across the day to a high of 19.
There are chances of frost across regional areas of NSW, the ACT and northeast Victoria.
Melburnians will want to wrap up as temperatures will only get up to 15, with a low of 6.
Residents in Adelaide will see much the same with a low of 9 and a high of 16 while Perth will have a glorious day with highs of 17 and lows of 4.
But it is Tasmania which will see the worst of the weather, with the Bureau forcing a weather warning for the Apple Isle tomorrow.
As Tasmanians go to the polls, Residents in Hobart will see a high of 14 but the feels like the temperature will be much lower due to strong winds and rains sweeping across the state over the course of the day.
Temperatures across the island will be moderate as a result of the weather, with Launceston recording a temperature of 11 degrees with showers, 12 degrees in Devonport and snow in the state's highlands.
The Bureau said the warning will last for the whole day, but Sunday should be more settled.

Wet start to weekend to follow cold and frost in Queensland, says weather bureau
The weather bureau is warning that much of Queensland can expect wet weather today, turning into cool and clear conditions over the weekend. Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Patch Clapp said chilly conditions experienced over much of this week would remain over the next few days in south-east Queensland. "Those rainfall totals for most places will be under 15 millimetres, but we could see some isolated falls of even 30mm, and there is the possibility of some isolated thunderstorms in the most southern parts of the state. "We'll see some slightly cooler temperatures under that cloud band and with that shower activity around. "That extends further north up to Bundaberg." Mr Clapp said some sunshine could be expected from Saturday. "We're looking at a mix of partly cloudy days," he said. "There'll be plenty of sun through the weekend as well, particularly through Saturday and part of Sunday for much of southern Queensland. "[We're also looking] at a pretty pleasant winter's weekend in Rockhampton … it's a fairly similar weekend moving further north … with a clearing trend." Winton, Longreach and Mt Isa should expect frosty starts, with cooler-than-usual temperatures forecast, Mr Clapp said. "The inland is looking generally at clear skies and sunny conditions right throughout the weekend," he said. It's the opposite story in North Queensland, which has enjoyed clear and warm conditions all week, set to continue today. The weather bureau has forecast that Townsville could expect rain from late Saturday. "Through the later part of Saturday, we're expecting to see maybe a little bit of cloud build-up around Townsville and further north," Mr Clapp said. The forecast of cloudy and wet weather from Sunday has not deterred artist Cameron Robbins, who has installed his artwork Dream Studio on the Strand in Townsville. It's one of about 30 pieces of public art placed on the city's foreshore for the biannual Ephemera exhibition. Robbins has created a wind-driven machine, which uses a mechanical pencil to "draw" art.

'Feels like zero degrees': Sydneysiders shiver through frosty morning as cold conditions continue to grip south-east
Sydneysiders have endured a bone-chilling start to Thursday morning as the "feels like" temperature plummeted to 0C, while cold conditions continue to grip much of Australia's south-east. Sydneysiders have endured a freezing start to Thursday morning as the "feels like" temperature plummeted to 0C. Frosty conditions have persisted across mush of Australia's south-east this week, bringing cold nights and icy mornings with patches of wet weather to some cities. Earlier this week, Sydneysiders woke up to their coldest morning since last winter at 6.4C. Sky News Meteorologist Marina Neuman said Sydney experienced a "feels like" temperature of almost freezing at 7.30am compared to the actual forecast of 6.3C. "Temperatures certainly dropped last night. Currently still -3C in Canberra, Sydneysiders 6C, Brisbane 12C," Neuman said during her morning weather update. "But just because that's what your dashboard is saying, it doesn't really capture just how cold it actually feels. "Our real-feel temperatures right now, the apparent temperatures, it actually feels like right now in Sydney 0C." At 7am, Sydney Olympic Park had an apparent temperature of 1.5C compared to the actual forecast of 4.0C. Meanwhile, the apparent temperatures in Dubbo and Tamworth sat at -4.4C and -4.6C at 7.30am, respectively. An "apparent" or "feels like" temperature is how the outside temperature is perceived to the human body while taking into account other weather factors, like wind speed and humidity. The average temperature range for Sydney in June typically sits between 9C and 17C. — Bureau of Meteorology, Australia (@BOM_au) June 18, 2025 According to Bureau of Meteorology data, Sydney's Observation Hill recorded an apparent temperature of 0C at 7am, six degrees colder than the actual temperature of 6.3C. At 7.30am, the real-feel temperature was still 0.9C compared to the forecast 6.1C. Sydney was yet to enter the double-digits by 9.30am, with the actual temperature recorded at 9.8C while still feeling like a chilly 5.4C. The Harbour City is predicted to reach a top of 17C on Thursday. A similar forecast is expected on Friday before slightly warmer temperatures arrive heading into Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile in other parts of the south-east, Victoria looks likely to cop the brunt of the cold and frosty winter conditions leading into the weekend. Fog is likely to blanket Melbourne on Friday, with a minimum temperature of 6C and top of 16C. More fog and frost are expected in the city's outer suburbs on Saturday and Sunday, according to the Bureau. The national weather said "icy cold mornings are forecast for much of Australia for the rest of the week". "Most of central and eastern parts will have clear skies and calm winds," the Bureau wrote on X. "The days will be sunny and mild but the nights will be cold."
