Adelaide Shivers through Coldest Spring Morning on Record
Date: [Current Date]
Adelaide, Australia – The city of Adelaide has woken up to its coldest spring morning on record, with temperatures plummeting to a chilly 2.6°C (36.7°F) at the Adelaide Airport weather station. This marks a significant departure from the average spring morning temperature of around 9°C (48.2°F) for this time of year.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, this is the lowest temperature recorded in Adelaide during the spring season since records began in 1887. The previous record for the coldest spring morning was 3.5°C (38.3°F) set in 1954.
Residents of Adelaide are advised to wrap up warm as the cold snap is expected to continue throughout the day. Forecasters are predicting a mix of sun and cloud, with a top temperature of just 10°C (50°F) expected.
The cold snap is a result of a high-pressure system dominating the region, which has brought a cold air mass from the southeastern states. This has resulted in a significant drop in temperatures, making it feel more like winter than spring.
Residents React to the Unseasonable Chill
"I woke up and thought it was winter all over again," said local resident, Sarah Johnson. "I’m not used to this kind of weather in spring. I’ve had to break out my winter coat and gloves just to get to work."
"It’s crazy, I was expecting it to be warmer today," said John Smith, a commuter. "I didn’t bring a jacket and now I’m freezing. I’m glad I have a good cup of coffee to keep me warm."
Health Experts Warn of Potential Health Risks
Health experts are warning residents to take precautions to stay warm and healthy during the cold snap. "The cold weather can be particularly challenging for vulnerable members of the community, such as the elderly and young children," said Dr. Jane Smith, a local doctor. "We urge everyone to stay indoors if possible, and to take extra precautions to stay warm and dry."

climate change brings volatile weather patterns, prepare for more records in the future
I can already hear the bleating from Andrew Bolt and the other Sky after dark nuts about how climate change is a hoax because it was cold one day.
Welp, climate change means breaking records in both directions, not just up.
