Weather records are set to be broken today as millions of people shiver through chilly conditions.

Millions of people across eastern Australia are pulling on their woolies and beanies today as a polar blast of chilly weather sweeps across multiple states.

That figure puts it on track to be the city's coldest morning in two years, smashing the previous mark of 5.2 degrees, and its coolest June morning since 2010. But Sydney's Western suburbs will be several degrees chillier and some places will likely be cold enough for frost.The blanket of cold weather is covering south-eastern Australia this week.

Even Queensland is feeling the impact of the cold blast, with Brisbane shivering through a top temperature of 8 degrees but the apparent temperature more like 6 degrees. Narrow ridges are notorious for causing cold mornings in south-eastern Australia during winter. This is because the central region of these high-pressure ridges, where you find the lightest winds and clear skies that are conducive to nocturnal radiative cooling, arrives relatively quickly after the passage of a cold front.
