Australia is experiencing both very high temperatures and heavy snowfall, causing extreme weather conditions.

Today in Australia, we are experiencing two very different types of weather. While some parts of the country up north are facing a scorching heatwave, the south is seeing some unexpected snowfall. Residents in the Top End, Western Australia, and northern Queensland woke up to above-average temperatures for this time of year.

According to Weatherzone, Telfer in Western Australia's Pilbara region recorded a minimum temperature of 31.4 degrees early this morning, which is a whopping 8 degrees higher than the usual average for November. In contrast, the maximum temperature expected in Darwin today is 35 degrees, while Brisbane is forecasted to reach 30 degrees.

The heatwave conditions have also affected large areas of northern Australia, with some parts of inland Queensland experiencing temperatures in the 40s. This includes towns like Richmond, Mt Isa, Longreach, and Boulia. Meanwhile, in Tasmania, Mount Wellington saw a minimum temperature of 0.8 degrees and some light snowfall this morning.

Looking ahead, tomorrow's weather is expected to be similar, with a minimum of -1 degrees predicted for the Kunanyi/Mount Wellington area. The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe heatwave warning for parts of the Northern Territory until Tuesday. They have stated that there may be isolated pockets of extreme heatwave conditions in western parts of the Top End in the next few days, before easing up in the middle of next week.

Similarly, Queensland has also been warned about the heatwave, particularly in central and northern parts of the state. Towns like Clermont, Cloncurry, Croydon, Doomadgee, Longreach, Mount Isa, Roma, Toowoomba, Winton, and Warwick are most likely to experience temperatures in the high 30s to mid-40s. The heatwave is expected to continue, with temperatures not dropping below 30 degrees in the affected areas.

While the north deals with the extreme heat, some parts of the south, including south-east New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, and Tasmania, may experience colder temperatures at night, with some areas dropping below 10 degrees. It's certainly a tale of two different weather extremes in Australia today.
