Weatherzone <\/a>Senior Meterologist Brett Dutschke, said.<\/p>\n\u201cThis is 0.6 degrees warmer than the previous record to August 8th, set in 2013. <\/p>\n
\u201cBeing warmer than average by as much as\u00a02.3 degrees may seem like quite a lot. However, so far this century, all winters have been warmer than the long-term average.\u00a0\u201d<\/p>\n
He said it was 48 years ago, in 1978 that Sydney was colder than the long-term norm.<\/p>\n
And if Sydneysiders feel there have been fewer bone-chilling mornings, they\u2019d be right.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe city failed to cool below six degrees last winter and is on track to do the same this winter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince temperatures have been recorded in 1859, the city has cooled below six degrees an average of eight or nine times each winter.\u201d<\/p>\n
The balmy weather will continue this week, with highs of up to 21 degrees in Sydney.<\/p>\n
Melbourne is in for showers, especially on Monday, with highs of 16 degrees.<\/p>\n
Hobart will be similar.<\/p>\n
Adelaide is also in for a wet week.<\/p>\n
Brisbane will also see showers on Monday before the sunshine returns for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n
Temperatures will reach highs in the low 20s.<\/p>\n
Perth will also come out of Monday showers with warm days and cooler nights, with a low of 3 degrees set for Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
However, a big freeze is heading for some parts of the nation.<\/p>\n
