July 28th 2024.
The holiday season came early for three regions in Australia, as they were blessed with a rare sight - snowfall in the middle of July. According to Weatherzone, the snow was even spotted in areas as low as 400 metres above sea level. This unexpected occurrence was caused by a combination of a cold front sweeping through the country's southeast region, along with low-lying clouds and moist winds.
In addition to this wintry surprise, the Olympic Games in Paris were also making headlines, with the latest results being reported. The Central Tablelands in New South Wales, eastern Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory were all buzzing with excitement as they witnessed the snowfall. Meanwhile, back in Sydney, strong winds and freezing temperatures made it feel like Christmas had truly arrived - minus the snow, of course.
As the day went on, temperatures continued to drop, with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting highs of 16 degrees in Sydney, 12 degrees in Melbourne, and 11 degrees in Canberra. In fact, the temperature in the capital city dropped below -4 degrees early in the morning, sending chills down the spines of its residents. And while the snow may not have reached Sydney, the city was still experiencing its fair share of winter weather.
But it wasn't just the mainland that was affected by the cold front - Lord Howe Island also received a severe weather warning, with waves of up to five metres predicted. And farmers in New South Wales and Victoria were also cautioned about the potential harm to their sheep due to the frigid temperatures expected throughout the week.
As the Olympic Games approached, the excitement continued to build, with every event being broadcasted live and free on Channel 9 and 9Now. For an even more immersive experience, viewers could also tune in to Stan Sport for ad-free and 4K coverage of the games.
