Temperatures dropped to as low as -10C along the ranges last night, and even regions only a few kilometres from the coastline saw the mercury dip below zero.
Parkes, in the central west of the state, recorded its lowest August temperature in 12 years with -5C, while Glen Innes Airport was under -5C for the tenth consecutive night – dropping to -10C throughout the night.
Sydney’s lowest came in Katoomba (-2C) and Richmond (-1C).
“The coastal fringe of the state fared a little warmer but Sydney still shivered down to 6.8C with a 30km/h wind making it feel more like 1C,” said the Weather Channel’s senior meteorologist Tom Saunders.
“The freezing overnight minimum temperatures were a few degrees off all-time records, due to the perfect combination of light winds and clear skies which quickly developed behind a passing front.”
It will be another cold night again tonight through inland New South Wales, with temperatures forecast to plummet below zero.
