Sydney set to shiver

Ben Domensino, Monday May 29, 2017 - 11:25 AEST

If you thought getting out of bed was difficult in Sydney this morning, then you probably won't like tomorrow.

After a warm and sunny Sunday, the mercury dropped last night as a pool of cold air drifted in behind a westerly change.

Temperatures were feeling like five-to-ten degrees at times across Sydney this morning, making the Monday morning commute a bit harder than usual.

While this morning was nippy, tomorrow could be Sydney's coldest autumn morning in 30 years.

The city is currently forecast to reach a low of seven degrees, which would be the coldest May morning in 17 years. If the temperature drops to 6.5 degrees or lower, which is possible, it will be Sydney's coldest May and autumn morning since 1987.

Maximum temperatures in Sydney are forecast to reach 17 to 19 degrees between today and Wednesday. This well-timed cool spell at the end of May could make this the city's coldest final three days of autumn in eight years.

Paradoxically, daytime temperatures will warm up at the start of winter and should reach 20 degrees again by the weekend.

A very wet weekend for southeast Qld, northeast NSW

11:48 AEST A prolonged rainfall event is set to bring large totals to parts of NSW and Qld from Saturday, with possible heavy falls and flooding. A low-pressure system in the Coral Sea, a deepening coastal trough and persistent easterlies will bring moisture-laden air into southeast Qld and northeast NSW will bring days of rainfall to the region. While there is not a drop of rain on the radar over southeast Qld and Northeast NSW on Friday morning, the mass of cloud associated with a low in the Coral Sea will enhance rainfall over the weekend.
