According to expert forecasters, the city of Sydney experienced its coldest lunchtime in the entire nation today.
As per Weatherzone, the temperature in Sydney was a chilling 10.9 degrees at noon, with some areas feeling as low as 7.2 degrees due to showers along the NSW coast.
Meanwhile, other capital cities also saw low temperatures, with Melbourne at 13 degrees, Brisbane at 16 degrees, and Adelaide at 14 degrees. Perth had a noon temperature of 17.7 degrees but felt closer to 13 degrees.
In contrast, the tropical city of Darwin enjoyed a warm 27.3 degrees.
But despite the cold and wet weather, the residents of Sydney are wondering when the rain will finally stop. This past weekend marked the sixth consecutive wet weekend for the city, with a total of 300mm of rain recorded so far in June. This is almost triple the monthly average of 133mm.
As a result of the heavy rainfall, several minor flood warnings have been issued for the weekend. The Hastings River, Cook's River, and St Georges Basin are all on minor flood watches due to high tides. Showers are expected to continue into Sunday.
Meanwhile, Melbourne is preparing for a frosty morning tomorrow, with a high of 15 degrees. The rest of the state is also expected to experience frost, as warned by the Bureau of Meteorology.
Brisbane will have a partly cloudy day tomorrow with a slight chance of showers and a high of 21 degrees. Adelaide, on the other hand, will have a clear day with a top of 15 degrees, but showers are in the forecast for early next week.
Perth will also have a cloudy day tomorrow with a high of 18 degrees.
According to a meteorologist from WeatherZone, these weather systems will bring widespread rainfall of 5-15mm over the next week, with some regions even seeing up to 60mm. The heaviest rainfall is expected in coastal and mountainous areas.
