Melbourne and Canberra could record their coldest April days as chilly weather hits Australia’s south-east.
Melbourne and Canberra could record their coldest April days as chilly weather hits Australia’s south-east.
Temperatures could be between 8C and 14C below average in the country's south-east, and Melbourne and Canberra could break their records for coldest day in April, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
Melbourne is forecast for a maximum of just 13C on Thursday and Friday, which would make it the coldest April day since 1996. Canberra is forecast for an even colder maximum of 7C on Friday, which would break the city's record for the earliest day below 10C.
One of the bureau's forecasters, Dean Narramore, added that parts of northern and central South Australia could experience "one of the coldest April days since the 60s or 70s."
Frost is forecast for inland parts of New South Wales and Victoria.
"It's pretty unusual to see a cold front this strong, this early in the year, Narramore said on Wednesday, as he described it as "the strongest cold front of the year".
Black guillemot birds have been washing up on beaches across the north-east
New Arc rescue centre has been receiving a number of calls regarding guillemots washed up on beaches across the north-east, most of which are dead.
Head of the charity, Keith Findlay is asking people walking along beaches to check on the birds. He said: "This is happening at a time near the start of the breeding season and although the birds are not a rare species, this could have a major impact on their population."
It's not certain why exactly so many of the birds have washed on the north-east shores however, Mr Marley said:" The birds that have been coming into us have been quite underweight so it's presumably food-related."
