A chilly start of the week for the southeast

Esteban Abellan, Sunday June 21, 2020 - 11:06 AEST

Temperatures will plummet behind the rain on Sunday night, likely bringing the coldest morning during the coming week across much of the southeast on Monday.

The mercury is expected to drop down to 8°C in Sydney early morning on Monday, after a relatively mild morning on Sunday with 12°C. Additionally, wind chill will make it feel 2-3 degrees colder than actual. However, overnight temperatures will gradually warm up over the following days, peaking by the end of the working week, climbing to around 2 degrees above average.

If you live in Melbourne, add your umbrella to your winter outfit. Victoria's capital will see minimum temperatures on Monday around 7°C, near the average for this time of the year. Cloud cover and light showers will limit daytime heating with the mercury struggling to reach 13°C.

Canberra will not escape from the cold either. Near freezing conditions during the early mornings are expected until mid week. The mercury will only climb to a top of 11°C on Monday, with significant wind chill in the afternoon and cloud cover at times.

The pool of cold air left by a front crossing the southeast during the weekend will bring the chilly start of the week ahead. Models indicate the arrival of another front around the end of the working week, although it may not bring any significant cooling.

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW

11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
