Icy blast sweeps across Australia, bringing the coldest morning of the year with 'feels-like' temperatures even colder. Find out why Aussies are shivering! #ColdWeather #Australia

Australia is shivering as a chilly wave sweeps the nation, bringing the coldest morning of the year to large parts of the country. The 'feels-like' temperature has dropped even further, making it feel exceptionally frosty. Melbourne and Sydney woke up to bone-chilling conditions, with widespread frost blanketing Tasmania, Victoria, the ACT, and New South Wales. The entire east coast was shrouded in cold, with temperatures hitting record lows.

Icy weather has firmly settled in the south-east of Australia, with clear skies and dry air from the Bass Strait creating a crisp winter atmosphere. The icy conditions are a result of a Tasman Low directing southerly winds over the region, further plummeting temperatures. In the midst of this frozen spectacle, thousands of Australians are facing the harsh reality of the coldest June morning in years.

As the icy grip tightens, towns are experiencing record-breaking low temperatures, with readings as low as -5.6ยฐC reported. The chilly conditions persist as a high-pressure system moves in, reinforcing the frigid weather. The cool morning has left Aussies reaching for extra layers and scrambling to keep warm amidst the wintry blast.

This persistent cold snap has led to the coolest morning on record for parts of southeast Australia, marking a significant weather event. The freezing temperatures have brought about a winter wonderland for some and a chilly challenge for others, as the nation braces against the icy embrace of the coldest morning of the year.
