Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Yet another polar blast to fuel bitterly cold temperatures across Australia
While gusty winds and heavy rains in Australia's south have finally eased, yet another icy polar blast will continue to fuel bitterly cold temperatures.
An incoming cold front will see showers in the southeast of the country persist, with the cold conditions to take effect from Thursday and linger well into next week.
Weatherzone meteorologist Felix Levesque explained the worst of the front will affect southeast Australia and will feel cooler than usual due to powerful winds.
'Strong west-to-southwest winds brought by a powerful cold front, along with cooling showers, will emphasise the cold and make it feel between three to seven degrees colder than actual temperature over the next couple of days,' he said.
'Chilly mornings will take hold into the weekend as this polar air mass slowly dissipates and high pressure brings clearer skies and lighter winds.'
Some showers are possible over southwest Australia on Friday due to a weak low-pressure system sitting off the coast.
A trough is expected to develop in northern Queensland from Friday evening and is likely to bring some showers to the region.
The freezing cold temperatures are expected to linger for at least the rest of the month with Canberra on track to record its coldest June since 1984.
