Cold weather will remain in parts of Australia on Thursday, with the evening expected to be particularly cold due to an ongoing high-pressure system.<\/p>\n
Sky News senior meteorologist Rob Sharpe said a slow-moving high-pressure system is responsible for the colder nights and mornings.<\/p>\n
“This very large high-pressure system has been slow-moving over the top,” Sharpe said.<\/p>\n
“When you get high systems over top, that’s when you get clear skies, the light winds and the cold mornings,” Sharpe said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
