Overview of cold weather over the next 5 days

Changeable through this week with cooler temperatures on Monday and again for a short time later in the week, especially for northern areas, with a milder interlude in-between. Some rain or showers at times, with any wintry precipitation very transient and limited to the higher hills in the north. Low impact temperature and NSWWS thresholds not expected to be met.

Overview of cold weather over the next 6 to 15 days

Unsettled weather likely at the start of this period, perhaps with a trend toward more settled conditions developing for a time into the middle part of April, especially toward the southeast, however confidence is low. While nights could be occasionally chilly with some frost and fog possible, daytime temperatures are expected to vary mostly around the average, perhaps slightly above. Any wintry precipitation is again likely to be very transient and limited to the higher hills in the north. Low impact thresholds are not expected to be met.

Overview of cold weather over the next 16 to 30 days

Changeable conditions are most likely later in April, with temperatures generally around or just above average. A notable cold snap would be required to reach thresholds and there is currently no signal for this to occur.
