Temperatures in Sydney and Brisbane were choked by cloud and showers, Weatherzone said.
Temperatures of 20 degrees or more were also recorded in Tasmania's Upper Derwent Valley, King Island and Flinders Island.

Even Mount Wellington was relatively warm, hitting a top of 10.6 degrees.
"Another relatively mild day with a high of 18 degrees is expected in Hobart on Wednesday before top temps drop to the mid-teens for the rest of the week," Weatherzone said.
"While conditions will be slightly cooler, it won't be bitingly cold, with no snow likely on kunanyi/Mt Wellington until later next week."
