Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Aussie city shivers through its coldest day of 2025 as polar blast sends temperatures tumbling in Australia - so how cold will it get near you?
Sydney has recorded its coldest day of 2025 after a polar airmass, strong winds and showers send temperatures tumbling across Australia's southeast. Temperatures in the Harbour City had reached just 10C by 9am on Wednesday, with a 'feels like' temperature of a frigid 5.3C. Even colder weather was recorded across Greater Sydney, with Mount Boyce in the Blue Mountains dropping to 2.5C at 9:30am, which felt like –2.9C due to icy winds. Light snow was reported on parts of the Blue Mountains, with more expected across the alpine region this long weekend. Terrey Hills on Sydney's Northern Beaches reached just 8.7C at 9:30am, with temperatures feeling like 4.8C. Temperatures peaked at a maximum of 15C, two degrees below the June average. Sydneysiders are in for a slight reprieve on Thursday, with temperatures to hit 17C. But on Friday, temperatures will plunge once again to a chilly 6C. On the NSW coastline, a powerful low pressure system over the Tasman Sea is generating big swells along with powerful wind gusts and showers. A hazardous surf warning is in place for the Byron Bay Coast, Coffs Coast, Macquarie Coast, Hunter Coast, Sydney Coast and Illawarra Coast, with gale or strong wind warnings for the entire NSW coastline. Further west, Perth recorded its wettest day of the year, and since July of 2024. Perth picked up 47.6mm of rain during the 48 hours ending at 9am AWST on Wednesday, with 33.2mm falling in the last 24 hours. This marked the city's wettest day in 11 months. Bickley, southwest of Perth's CBD, recorded 41mm in the 24 hours to 9am on Wednesday - the suburb's heaviest daily rainfall in nine months. The wet weather is set to ease on Thursday and Friday, however a cold front could impact the state's southwest from early next week. Sydney Friday: Partly cloudy. Min 6 Max 18 Saturday: Mostly sunny.
