Melbourne’s coldest night of 2026 as five states fall below zero
Frigid temperatures were recorded overnight across southeastern Australia, as dry, cold air settled over the most heavily populated corner of the country in the wake of a cold front. Let’s whip around the southeastern states to see how low the mercury fell on Monday morning: Victoria Melbourne recorded its coldest night of the year with a low of 3.2°C at the main city weather station, while the airport plummeted to just 0.1°C – also its coldest night so far this year. Coldstream, in the Yarra Valley on the far northeastern outskirts of the city, an hour from the CBD, fell to -2.7°C – its coldest night of the year by almost two degrees. Mt Hotham Airport (elevation 1295 m) was the chilliest place in the state with a low of -4.6°C. This was its coldest night of 2026 to date. Tasmania The tiny town of Liawenee, at an elevation of 1057 m on Tasmania’s Central Plateau, shivered through a minimum of -8.1°C. This was Australia’s lowest temperature of July 2026 to date, although it’s worth noting that the town saw three colder nights in June. Hobart had a low of just 2.6°C, its coldest night of July 2026 to date. Ouse, in the Upper Derwent Valley, had its most frigid night in almost two years with a low of -5.5°C. South Australia You usually look to the southeast of SA to find the state’s coldest minimums in winter, but Yunta, in the North East Pastoral forecast district was officially the chilliest spot overnight with a low of -1.7°C. The coldest place in the state’s southeast was the famous wine area of Coonawarra, which fell to -0.3°C. New South Wales As you’d expect, the coldest spot was in the Snowy Mountains, where Perisher Valley fell to –5.6°C. That was good news for the snowmakers, who were able to augment the snowpack by firing up the snow guns after around 30 cm of natural snow fell on Friday. Sometimes in winter, the Northern Tablelands register the coldest NSW nights. In 2023, Glen Innes had Australia’s coldest temperature with a low of –10.8°C. But the influence of moist easterly winds over the state’s northeast prevented subzero minimums this Monday. ACT The minimum stayed a few degrees above zero in Canberra and its suburbs due to the flow of moist winds from the southeast (even though just 0.2mm of rain was recorded at Canberra Airport). It was a different story up in the Brindabella Ranges west of the city, where Mt Ginini stayed dry and registered an overnight minimum of –2.6°C. Why was it so cold overnight?

As the map above shows, a strong high pressure system centred over Tasmania caused stable conditions which were perfect for low minimums given the existing cool airmass over most parts of southeastern Australia. Only the east coast and some nearby ranges escaped the worst of the chill, due to the onshore flow from the Tasman Sea. Further chilly nights can be expected for at least the first half of the working week across most of the areas mentioned.

Warnings in place for New Zealand as deep low brings heavy snow, rain to South Island
A deep low pressure system is heading straight for New Zealand, and it's set to bring heavy rain, gusty winds and even blizzard conditions across the South Island late Sunday, July 5, into Monday, July 6, extending into Wednesday, July 8, for the South Island's northeast. Image: ACCESS-G forecast accumulated rainfall to 10pm AEST (midnight NZST), Wednesday, July 8, 2026. Source: Weatherzone. The New Zealand MetService has issued a Red Warning for heavy rain of 80-120mm over coastal parts of Dunedin and Clutha, with rainfall intensity possible reaching as high as 10-15 mm/h. Red warnings are the highest warning category for New Zealand, indicating that people need to "take immediate action . . . to protect people, animals, and property from the impact of the weather". Orange Warnings, which indicate "a potential risk to people, animals and property", have been issued for heavy rain over northern coastal Otago, northern Canterbury and Marlborough, and for heavy snow down to 400 metres (possibly as low as 200 metres) across inland Otago. There is at least a moderate chance that these warnings will be updated to Red Warnings in the next warning update, which is due at 9pm NZST (7pm AEST). Image: Severe Weather Warnings for New Zealand for Sunday, July 5, to Tuesday, July 7, 2026. Source: New Zealand MetService. Earlier today, the New Zealand rain radar showed a taste of what's to come, indicating heavy rain near Ashburton on the South Island's east coast.

Gusty, possibly damaging, south to southeasterly winds may also develop through the Cook Strait and over the South Island ranges from Monday morning and could persist into Tuesday morning for South Island's northern ranges. Image: ACCESS-G forecast wind gusts at 12pm AEST (2pm NZST) on Monday, July 6, 2026. Source: Weatherzone. As the low crosses New Zealand's North Island later in the week, there is a chance that damaging southerly wind gusts could again develop through the Cook Strait, possibly impacting Wellington, late Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. If you're in New Zealand or plan on travelling to or from New Zealand this week, make sure you stay up to date with all the latest warnings at New Zealand MetService.

Super Typhoon Bavi headed for Guam, Taiwan
A powerful typhoon in the western Pacific Ocean is currently making its way towards the Mariana Islands and the U.S. island territory of Guam, and could directly impact Taiwan late next week. Super Typhoon Bavi is, at the time of writing, located about 650km east of Guam and travelling westward at a speed of approximately 13 km/h, generating maximum sustained winds of about 260 km/h and significant wave heights of around 13.5 metres. The powerful system has developed a small but distinct eye about 30-40km wide, as you can see below.

As powerful as this system currently is, there are signs it could intensify further before crossing the Mariana Islands in the early morning of Monday, July 6. At this stage, its most likely point of impact will be somewhere between Guam and the island of Saipan, generating sustained winds of 275 km/h, gusts of up to 325 km/h, and rainfall accumulations of 300-500mm, mainly falling within a 12-hour window between 4am and 4pm on Monday.

Source: Weatherzone. From there, Super Typhoon Bavi is currently forecast to barrel towards Taiwan, and could potentially make landfall over the island’s northeast in the early hours of Saturday, July 11, possibly matching the wind strength and rainfall accumulations currently expected for the Mariana Islands.

But with a week to go before Bavi approaches Taiwan, forecasts could change significantly. If you're planning to travel to or be in Taiwan next weekend, keep your eyes peeled for any forecast updates.
