Temperatures in parts of Adelaide were in minus on Tuesday as the city became the coldest capital in Australia.
The Bureau of Meteorology’s Simon Timke spoke to FIVEAA Breakfast before 7am on Tuesday when the temp on West Terrace was 1.7 degrees.
“Like yesterday a bit colder out over the northern suburbs,” Simon reported. “It’s been down to -1.4 degrees at Parafield a few minutes ago, so some frost out over the northern suburbs.”
Elsewhere in the Adelaide area it got down to -2.8 in Pallamana and -0.3 in Roseworthy. Further afield it was -5.3 in Yunta, -3.8 in Renmark and -3.3 in Loxton.
Will Goodings was still on air when Adelaide reached 2 degrees and became “officially the coldest capital city in Australia”.
FORECAST:
“Over the next couple of days temperatures just rising a tiny bit each day with sunny conditions continuing,” Simon said. “Sunny for Wednesday, not quite so cold overnight either, down to 5 and up to 15 for Wed and for Thurs down to 5 up to 16 and almost a hot day on Friday up to 18 degrees.:
“A little bit warmer to end the week but then a return to winter for the weekend with a cold front moving across and bringing showers and windy conditions on Saturday and still a couple of showers left over for Sunday.”
