Harry Clark, Senior Meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology, said current temperatures were around three degrees lower than the November average.

“We’ve had southeasterly wind flow due to high pressure in the Tasman Sea and because of this temperatures remain lower than average.”

The wind is expected to switch as we move towards the weekend when temperatures are expected to be closer to average.
