WEATHER UPDATE: COOLING BUT NOT FOR LONG

Cooler air is now moving across the region dropping temperatures by a few degrees. Cloud is moving across the area producing rain in the south, mostly affecting the Hunter tonight.

The main weather feature is going to be a low forming off the coast which will strengthen the SW winds pushing the colder air all the way north into SE QLD. The strong winds and deepening low will generate a new swell arriving on our beaches by Friday morning.

The low will move away from the coast quickly so the fine, dry, clear skies will return by the weekend with the mercury climbing back to abnormally high levels for this time of the year.
Another record was borken last night with Perth recording its hottest August night in 100 years.
