Australia's Chilliest Night Ahead: Temperatures to Drop to -7C, Health Alerts Issued
Australians are bracing for a cold snap, with temperatures expected to plummet to -7C on Friday, prompting the Met Office to issue a yellow cold weather warning. The alert comes as large parts of the country are forecast to wake up to sub-zero conditions, with warnings of ice and snow in the south. As the cold front sweeps across the nation, residents are advised to take precautions to stay warm and safe, with health alerts issued for vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions, as the risk of hypothermia and frostbite increases, especially in rural areas, where temperatures are expected to drop significantly, and the importance of staying informed about weather forecasts and warnings cannot be overstated.
