Part 4/6:
Meanwhile, in New South Wales, very isolated thunderstorms have been recorded this morning, extending as far south as the Hunter region. Coastal areas are experiencing light showers driven by a southerly flow, with Sydney's weather forecast including possible coastal showers. The heaviest rainfall has already fallen in northern parts of the state, with early morning totals contributing to the ongoing unsettled conditions.
Further south, conditions are significantly calmer, with clear skies and dry weather prevailing. Temperatures are notably low at the start of the day—Cradock recorded a frigid -4.3°C, while Melbourne began with just under 5°C. These low temperatures are typical for mid-winter conditions in Australia.
