All states and territories had at least one location drop below 5.2 degrees on Monday morning, with the NT claiming the title of highest low temperature on the first morning of winter. This went to Yulara Airport near Uluru, with a minimum of 5.1 degrees.


Official daily minimum temperatures for Monday June 1st are taken as the lowest temperature measured during the 24 hours prior to 9am in each state and territory. This means that temperatures measured after 9am on Monday will be attributed to Tuesday morning's daily minimum temperature.
