Australia welcomes the coldest winter not seen in more than 100 years

Many Australian cities are expected to welcome their coldest winter in decades with record low temperatures.

According to the Daily Mail, in the coming days, temperatures will drop sharply in every major city across Australia, except Perth. Temperatures in these cities are expected to drop to their lowest levels in decades.

Brisbane alone is likely to experience its worst cold spell since 1904. Melbourne will also experience its coldest winter in 40 years.

Some beaches in the state of Tasmania could even see snowstorms in the coming days.

Snow falls on a farm in Sunny Corner, New South Wales, Australia.

Mount Hotham and the Falls Creek resort recently reported record snowfall, with the average snowfall reaching nearly 1 meter.

At Mount Buller, the recent snowfall was 4.9 meters thick, breaking the record for this area in two decades.

Resorts in New South Wales also saw heavy snowfall not seen since 1968.

By the end of the week, the temperature in Brisbane is expected to drop to 6 degrees Celsius and Sydney to drop to 7 degrees Celsius.

Melbourne is forecast to record 6 degrees Celsius early next week while Canberra is bracing for a cold snap with temperatures dropping to -4 degrees Celsius.

Frost is expected to persist in many areas of Australia through the end of next week.

In addition, some areas in New South Wales and Victoria will also receive torrential rains in the next few days. The possibility that a storm will hit Melbourne cannot be ruled out.

Australia has a very special climate compared to the rest of the world. Because it is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the time of seasons in this country is reversed compared to the season in other parts of the world. Australia's harshest winter lasts from June to August every year.
