Southern QLD continues to shiver in cold August mornings
The run of chilly mornings has continued as the mercury plummeted across southern Queensland this...
Melbourne residents have woken to the coldest morning of the year. The CBD dropped down to 3.0C after 6am this morning, cooler than any other morning so far in 2019 by 0.5 of a degree.
The outer suburbs felt the pinch a little more, with Scoresby dropping to 0C, Viewbank 0.4C and Cerberus -0.6C. Meanwhile Alpine regions recorded the coldest temperatures across the state, with Mt Hotham dropping to -4.4C and Falls Creek to -4.3C.
These cold and settled conditions are due to a large, slow moving high pressure system sitting across The Bight. This ridge will continue to maintain light winds with very isolated showers across exposed coastal regions through until the weekend, before a cold front moves into the region early next week.
