Unseasonal Spring Snow Hits Australia's South-East
An unseasonal cold front has brought snowfall to parts of New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania, lowering apparent temperatures across the region.
Snow fell across alpine regions in Australia's south-east, including Thredbo, Perisher, Mount Hotham, and Kunanyi/Mount Wellington in Tasmania. The Bureau of Meteorology forecasted the cold blast, which brought freezing conditions and strong winds moving north from Antarctica. While uncommon for November, similar unseasonal snowfalls have been recorded in the past. Warmer temperatures are expected to return soon, though experts warn that a supercharged El Niño is anticipated to impact future weather patterns and drive hotter, drier conditions across the southern hemisphere.
