Parts of south-eastern Australia are battling extremely windy conditions as a cold front sweeps through.
BoM Meteorologist Jonathan How on Tuesday warned winds would push up the New South Wales coast and towards the Sydney metro area as well as the Blue Mountains.
Parts of the state could see winds of 60 to 70 km/h with peak gusts of up to 100 km/h, easing by late afternoon to evening. Victoria is still experiencing chilly winds, particularly in the south. Parts of Tasmania, such as northern and western areas including Launceston, are also facing damaging winds.
Meanwhile, a severe weather warning is still in place for South Australia for those in the Lower South East and parts of Mount Lofty Ranges, Mid North, Murraylands and Upper South East districts as a damaging wind risk continues. “In terms of our wind gusts, we’ve seen very windy ones overnight … Mt Bulla, 128 kilometres an hour with sustained winds of 96 kilometres an hour,” said Sky News weather presenter Nikolina Kharoufeh.
