John's weather channel is forecasting 20--40 year records for cold evenings across much of SE Australia in the next 5 or 6 days...
Let's see what happens, but I have found JWC to be generally more accurate than BOM.
**** SEVERE FROSTS TO IMPACT LARGE PARTS OF AUSTRALIA AS WE HEAD INTO JUNE ****
**** FEEL FREE TO SHARE/TAG THIS MESSAGE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY ****
June to start off with a week of widespread frosts and fogs for more than 50% of the country with central, southern, south eastern and eastern parts severely impacted.
Good evening Winter has truly arrived for large parts of the country with two strong cold fronts in recent days. Cold air lingering from these fronts will be trapped in inversions allowing for extremely cold nights with widespread frosts (some severe) and local fogs through large parts of the country the next week mainly southern, south eastern, eastern and central parts as a massive strong stationary high pressure system sits over Victoria and NSW.
The high will be very strong reaching 1040 hPa later in the week the fact the high is so strong and becomes stationary will introduce these very chilly nights through large parts of the country.
The high will finally move away by Monday allowing a front and low to push up from the Great Australian Bight (A separate write up will follow in the coming days with this system) this system will allow winds to pick up with cloud on the increase meaning the nights will not be as cold.
During this sequence we may see frost/cold night time records of 10-20-30-40 years in some areas especially NSW and Victoria. Many regions will see several nights of sub 0c temps especially inland parts of SA, inland Victoria, inland NSW and parts of southern QLD.
