Sydney to suffer through more wintry weather after recording coldest day of the year - with worse yet to come
After suffering the coldest day of the year so far, Sydney is expected to experience another wet and wintry day on Thursday.
According to 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.
