Southern states can expect an extended period of cold weather.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, southern Australia is in for a chilly surprise in the coming days. The forecast warns of a cold front moving through the region, with another one not far behind for Western Australia. This blast of Antarctic air may even bring some snow to the slopes of Tasmania, Victoria, and New South Wales.

The frigid conditions are expected to stick around for a while, with below-average temperatures and southerly winds lasting well into next week. In fact, Weatherzone, a meteorology service, predicts that a high-pressure system could linger over South Australia after the initial cold front passes. This could mean at least four days of chilly weather and southerly winds.

Cities in the south-eastern states should prepare for temperatures two to three degrees below average for the next several days. In Melbourne, the forecast shows temperatures hovering around 12 to 13 degrees from Saturday to Thursday, which is a bit lower than the usual average. Similarly, Sydney can expect a few degrees below average from Sunday to Thursday next week.

Even Adelaide will feel the chill, with temperatures expected to be two to three degrees below average this weekend. And in Hobart, the temperature is not expected to reach above twelve degrees over the next four days. As for Brisbane, the city may also experience a dip in temperatures starting next week, with a few days expected to be almost two degrees below average. Overnight temperatures in Brisbane are predicted to be around 8 degrees from Sunday night.

To make matters worse, the strong southerly winds could make the temperature feel even colder than it actually is. So make sure to bundle up and stay warm.
