During the day, temperatures are also difficult to recover, and parts of Victoria and South Australia experienced the coldest June days in over 20 years from the 15th to the 16th. On the 18th and 19th, it will become even colder, and Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and the capital territory may experience widespread morning frost.
