Winter will have a dramatic start as a cold front leaves a pool of cold air over the southeast on Monday 1st of June. As the front carrying this air passes, a high pressure ridge will develop in its wake, causing winds to be light and skies to clear.
A run of cold nights and mornings will then impact cities across South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales, with a few noticeably cooler mornings reaching up to southern Queensland.
Adelaide and Melbourne are forecast to experience these chilly mornings from Tuesday 2nd to about the end of the working week. For both of these southern cities, the average minimum temperature in this time should be just 6 degrees, 3 degrees below the average for even this time of year.
Gusty winds along the east coast will prevent the mercury in Sydney plunging too far, but Sydney's western suburbs are still on track to get a few nippy mornings on Tuesday and Wednesday. Here, overnight temperatures could fall as low as 4 degrees. This could be one of the coldest mornings experienced so far this year for Bankstown and Penrith.
Even Brisbane won't entirely escape this arctic blast. As the airmass dries out over southeast Queensland, dew points will plunge and cause humidity levels to fall. The impact will be most noticeable overnight. Tuesday's minimum temperature is expected to be a full 6 degrees less than Monday's. The mercury will then struggle to reach 10 degrees overnight until Friday.
