Eastern Australia recently experienced record-breaking warm temperatures, with daytime highs reaching 10 to 14°C above average in regions such as New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania. Notable records were set in cities like Geelong and Hobart, which recorded 26.9°C and 24.3°C respectively. However, a cold front originating from the Southern Ocean is moving towards these areas, bringing rain, thunderstorms, and a significant drop in temperatures. The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has indicated that maximum temperatures will fall into the high teens by Monday, following a weekend of expected severe weather, including flash flooding risks. While Sydney will remain relatively warm with temperatures around 26°C, Melbourne is forecasted to see a drastic decrease, dropping to 13°C by Thursday.
