Winter blast to strike Australia: Weather in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and more
Australians have been warned to brace for cold and wet conditions in the country's south this week, with damaging winds set to batter the region. South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and NSW will begin the week on Monday with 'dry and settled' conditions. But on Tuesday, a cold front powered by a low-pressure system will approach from the west and wash over the Great Australian Bight. A band of rain is forecast to make its away across the states and bring a small amount of snow to the highest regions while wind speeds are expected to pick up. 'Tomorrow will be the main day for that and then it is sort of departing on about Wednesday, but it'll be quickly followed up by another pulse with fairly strong winds,' Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Angus Hines told Daily Mail Australia. 'So anyone who's south of a line from about Perth to Sydney, or maybe even a bit north of that, is likely to get a couple of quite windy days this week. 'In most places they're not going to be about to sort of trigger rain warnings, whereas we are likely to have damaging wind warnings.' The front will dissipate, but not long before the next spell of wind and 'moderate rainfall' approaches South Australia on Wednesday. It comes after most of the state's capital enjoyed warmer temperatures and mostly sunny weekends, while heavy downpours fell on Perth and lightning storms on much of NSW on Sunday. The system which generated the impressive display over NSW has since moved out to sea. Mr Hines said the weekend outlook for the southern parts of the country would depend on any incoming cold fronts. 'This time of year you almost see a conveyor belt of cold fronts, just bringing one after the next in southern parts of the country,' he said. 'We might get a little gap in between those – sort of a spell of drier weather across most places, Friday and Saturday – but that might break down by Sunday and allow for the wind and rain to come back.' Warnings for gale-force winds and sheep graziers remain in place for Western Australia with coastal winds set to remain strong in the state's south-west until Tuesday. 'Sheep graziers are warned that cold temperatures, rain and showers, and strong westerly winds are expected during Monday. There is a risk of losses of lambs and sheep exposed to these conditions,' the Bureau of Meteorology warned. The second of two cold fronts will continue to bring rainy conditions across a region covering Perth to Esperance as it arrives on Monday morning, potentially causing small amounts of hail. That sweeping front, responsible for wind that is set to come across the southern states, could also deposit snow to some of NSW and Victoria's snowfields. Snowfall could come as low as 1,000m of elevation on Tuesday and 900m on Wednesday. In the north of the country, a high-pressure system is dominating the weather patterns and making way for a clearer, dry week in much of Queensland. Much of the area could be 'completely cloudless' for the week. On Tuesday, Sydney will see maximum temperatures of 19C and clouds; Melbourne faces rain and a maximum 14C as that cold front approaches. Brisbane and Darwin will receive tops of 22C and 32C respectively, with sunny weather. Perth and Adelaide face highs of 16C and 15C respectively, with rain. Canberra will shiver through lows of 0C and highs of 13C, while Hobart faces a maximum temperature of 14C and rain. Mr Hines warned coastal conditions could deteriorate in the southern states over the week. 'We're getting some really big waves with these [conditions] in the south,' he said. 'That'll be affecting the west of Australia today and then, much like the rest of the weather, moving across to the south and then the east over the next few days. It could bring waves between 5m and 7m across the southern coastline and cause high tides. 'We're looking at the chance of a bit of inundation, or a bit of nuisance flooding, some people call it,' Mr Hines said. 'Inundation of low-lying car parks, walkways, bike paths, maybe some low roads and properties around high tide along Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria in a couple of days.'

The UK's third heatwave of the summer is imminent
The UK is set to experience its third heatwave of the summer, with temperatures expected to exceed 30C in some areas this week. The Met Office has warned of warm and uncomfortable nights as temperatures are forecast to climb from Wednesday. An official heatwave is anticipated by Friday, requiring three consecutive days of high temperatures to meet the criteria. Temperatures could reach the low 30s by Friday and Saturday, with increased humidity making nights uncomfortable. High pollen and UV levels are also expected, though the UK is likely to avoid the extreme temperatures seen in the Mediterranean. How long will the third heatwave of the summer last and how hot will it get?
