In southern Western Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, the mercury remained at single digits with widespread frost, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

The freezing conditions are due to a combination of a cold air mass, clear skies, light winds and a strengthening high pressure system over southern Australia.

BOM said most places will get warmer from Friday.

Sydney and Darwin had the warmest temperatures, with the mercury reaching 11C and 20C respectively.

BOM senior meteorologist, Angus Hines said it will likely be a “long stretch of showery days” rather than downpours.

Sydneysiders are set for a wet week ahead with rain expected until Tuesday next week.

It comes after Sydney already copped up more than a year’s worth of rain in the first half of 2024.
