Band of cold blankets entire east coast, with widespread frost across Tasmania, Victoria, the ACT and NSW
so far this year on Wednesday, after Queenslanders awoke to a blanket of frost across a large swathe of the state’s centre on Tuesday.
Tambo post office in central Queensland hit -5.6C on Tuesday morning – its coldest June minimum on record – bringing it in line with the coldest annual record at that location, set in 1995.Thangool airport near Biloela was -3.4C, a new June record. At Roma airport, the mercury hit -3.5C, the coldest temperature since 11 July 2022 – though well above the site’s record low of -5.8C in August 1995. Mackay, in the state’s mid-north, dropped to 5.5C.
Apparent, or “feels like”, temperatures were up to 3C lower across many locations, the Bureau of Meteorology’s Morgan Pumpa said. By 9am on Tuesday in Tambo, the temperature was 7.3C but felt like 5.4C. The frosty temperatures were the result of a low pressure system in the Tasman Sea driving icy southerly winds into south-eastern Australia combining with a high pressure system over much of the country’s east, Pumpa said.
