Adelaide's coldest day so far this year
This morning, Adelaide Airport experienced its coldest temperature of the year so far, with the mercury falling to 2.4°C. Temperatures were also quite cold in the heart of the city with West Terrace dropping to 4.0°C, the coldest June temperature recorded at that location in about 2 years (coldest since 30 June 2024). Why was it so cold in Adelaide this morning? Skies were clear and winds were calm during most of the overnight hours, and these conditions enhanced radiational cooling. This weekend also marks the winter solstice, and the long night allowed for an extended period of cooling. It is no coincidence that both locations recorded their minimum temperatures after 7am, or within 30 minutes of sunrise.

The clear skies and light winds that were observed across southern SA early this morning were caused by a ridge of high pressure which was centred just south of the Eyre Peninsula. Similar conditions were observed in Streak Bay, where the temperature fell to 1.9°C this morning, which is the coldest June temperature at that location in 11 years.

Adelaide's wettest start to winter in 35 years
Adelaide has benefited from healthy rainfall over the past few weeks, with only 4 days remaining dry so far in June. June is usually the rainiest month of the year in Adelaide, with a climatological average of 72.1mm of rain. And June 2026 has not disappointed; so far, out of the 20 days of the month, it has rained on 16 days. The wettest period was the 24 hours to 9 am Tuesday, the 16th, when the capital of South Australia received 21.8mm. Image: South Australia Rainfall Totals 1st to 19th June 2026. Source: BOM. We can already say that it has rained more in these 20 days than during the entire month of June since1991! So far, the accumulated rainfall in June 2026 is 110.6mm, about 53% above the average for the month. In the coming days, the rain should let up as a high pressure system brings drier and colder air to the region. But looking ahead, a rainier period is expected at the end of the month.

Sydney heading for 2 weeks over 20°C – a new June record
Winter has failed to show up in Sydney so far this month, with the city registering its longest run of June days over 20°C in close to 170 years of records. A string of high pressure systems and a lack of strong cold fronts have kept daytime temperatures unusually high in Sydney and other areas of NSW so far this month. The long-term average maximum temperature at Sydney’s Observatory Hill weather station, located next to the Harbour Bridge, is around 17°C. This month, it has been running at around 21°C and the coldest day managed to reach 18.2°C.

Longest run of June days over 20°C Today, Friday June 19, marks the 13th consecutive day above 20°C at the Observatory Hill weather station. This easily beats Sydney’s previous June record of nine days in a row above 20°C from 1919, with data available back to 1859. Sydney is expected to extend this record-breaking run to 14 days on Saturday, before slightly cooler conditions develop from Sunday, possibly ending the streak. Looking ahead, southerly winds should keep temperatures below 20°C throughout most of next week, with maximums forecast to sit around more typical June highs of 17 to 19°C. Another record possible by month’s end There are early signs that some warmer weather will return towards the end of next week, possibly bringing a few more days over 20°C in the final days of the month. The record for the most 20°C days in a single June was 18 in 1957. This month has already had 14 days over 20°C (which includes the current 13-day streak) and should have its 15th on Saturday. With more days over 20°C possible from late next week, there is a chance this month will challenge the record from 1957.
