Temperatures plummet by 10C in two hours in Sydney
Sydney's temperature has plummeted 10C in just two hours as a cold front drifts across New South Wales.
Temperatures at midday were sitting at a balmy 22C at Sydney's Observatory Hill, but by 2pm temperatures dropped to just 12.7C when the front arrived.
"A cold air mass spreading over south-eastern Australia is causing huge temperature contrasts between some of Australia largest capital cities today," Weatherzone said.

"Sydney should cool by around 10C in one or two hours when the front arrives, with cloud, wind and rain exacerbating the cold change."
Footage showed Sydney skies changing from blue to grey in a matter of hours as the storm moved through.
Not only did temperatures plunge but a hail storm swept across the city on Tuesday afternoon.
Some residents filmed a dumping of hail in Georges Hall and Bankstown leaving the ground covered in ice.

A hazardous surf and wind warning remain in place for Sydney as an Antarctic blast sweeps across the state bringing snow, rain and damaging winds.
"Southerly winds will also strengthen along the NSW coast and ranges with and in the wake of the front, causing dangerous conditions in some coastal waters on Tuesday and Wednesday," Weatherzone said.
"As a result, a hazardous surf warning and gale wind warning have been issued along most of the coast."
