Bitterly cold airmass brings snow, freezing temperatures to southeast Australia

Frigid temperatures have set in across southeastern Australia, with showers, small hail, snowfalls and icy winds all part of the mix on what promises to be the coldest day of 2026 to date in many locations.

Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide to chill through coldest day so far this year

A burst of wintry weather will send shivers across southeastern Australia during the next two days, with some places to have their coldest day so far this year and snow to reach low levels in several states.

Welcome rain for dry parts of northern NSW, southern Qld

Significant rainfall has dampened parts of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland that have experienced rainfall deficiencies over the first four months of the year, some of which are severe.

Snow to blanket four states, including towns below the mountains

Heavy autumn snowfalls are heading towards southeastern Australia, and not just to the ski resorts of New South Wales and Victoria, or to higher parts of Tasmania.
