Confession time: we didn’t update the weather block yesterday, but we promise you can trust us on this update… A “sudden stratospheric warming event” is said to be developing over Antarctica, and despite the mention of ‘warming’ there, it’s set to bring cold fronts/rain across southern Australia in the coming weeks. It’s caused by an “abrupt increase in air temperature” about 20-40km above the Earth’s surface, over the polar regions. Reports say the warmer air could filter down through the atmosphere, pushing cold Antarctic air away from the continent and towards us. Brr… Even the Sunshine State can’t escape – forecasters say parts of Queensland could be in for “snow flurries” later this week. Time for a hot choc…
