‘Proper midwinter stuff': Coldest days of the year so far arriving in Adeliade and Canberra, while Brisbane and Sydney to see chilliest mornings yet
Most Australian capitals will continue to feel the winter blast as temperatures plummet around the country in the days ahead, with Canberra and Adelaide set to experience their coldest conditions so far this year. Meanwhile, mornings in Brisbane and Sydney are forecast to be the chilliest they have been yet in 2025, with lows for Queensland expected to enter single digits. Winter has firmly set in on the east coast this week, with Sky News meteorologist Rob Sharpe explaining Wednesday was Sydney's coldest day of the year so far by a 'considerable margin' with the city seeing a maximum of just 14.1C. Sharpe said the chill in New South Wales' central east was due to southerly winds brining rain and cold air as it rolls through the area, and Sydneysiders are now facing their coldest mornings of 2025 so far as the week progresses. Sydney is set to see daily lows drop to single figures for most of the next seven days and the Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a chilly 6C for Friday morning. 'I'm not sure it's going to be quite that cold on Friday, but we will be feeling the chill and then we'll be having another cold belt, Monday, Tuesday, with daytime tops again back to just 16 degrees,' Sharpe said. Brisbane could drop to 9C on both Thursday and Friday mornings and Sharpe said the forecasted lows are 'easily the coldest we've seen so far this year' for Queensland's capital. Temperatures in Brisbane are looking more mild for Saturday through to Monday, but another cold dip could arrive as early as Wednesday next week. Canberra has been forecast to plummet to a freezing low of –4C on Thursday and Friday morning is also set to be below zero, reaching a low of –3C. Wet weather is looking set to roll into Adelaide from Thursday, with the city also likely to see its coldest 2025 day yet this weekend. 'With temperatures as low as 13C on Sunday, easily the coldest day of the year so far there as well. So, proper midwinter stuff coming through,' Sharpe said. Sharpe said Monday next week could be Canberra's coldest day of the year so far, with a high of just 9C and a low of 0C forecast. Windy and cold conditions are expected for Melbourne and Hobart over the next seven days and the Victorian capital could dip to just 4C on Thursday. It will be a different story in Perth and Darwin, however, with the West Australian capital largely avoiding the nail-biting temperatures sending a shiver down the east coast. 'The cold temperatures have really avoided the region and the showers that we've been seeing constantly, they're going to be gradually clearing. So, an improvement in the weather on the way there,' Sharpe said. Darwin appears set for balmy conditions over the next seven days, with Sharpe saying the northernmost capital 'seems immune' from the cold spell. Daily highs of 31 are expected in Darwin for the next week beginning Thursday, with the city projected to drop to a seven-day low of 20. Rain, strong winds, thunderstorms, and even hail and snow have been forecast in parts of the country's south-east by the BOM, as a strong cold front hits southern SA, NSW, Victoria, and Tasmania from Saturday afternoon into next week.
