Anzac Day weather: What the forecast looks like in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne ... trends now

Millions in Australia are set to freeze as a cold front hits the south-east of the country, causing temperatures to plummet.

The warm, sunny autumn weather will be replaced with cooler temperatures and showers across south east Australia, making it's way to NSW before heading to Brisbane for the weekend.

The cold front came up from the Great Australian Bight, hitting South Australia on Tuesday, bringing winds and cooler temperatures.

The southerly change, due to hit Sydney Wednesday afternoon, has already brought some showers to Melbourne.

People attending tomorrow's Anzac Day Dawn Service have been told to rug up in the eastern states as the morning will feel chilly - with Melbourne to have possible rain and Hobart getting blustery winds.

SYDNEY  

The city will see a generally mild week, with a southerly change arriving on Wednesday afternoon. 

This will see the temperature drop from around 25C to 20C when it hits, with gusty winds.

The cold front will leave Sydney with a couple of days of relatively cool temperatures, but not significantly below the April average.

Weatherzone meteorologist Angus Konta told Daily Mail Australia people should be rugged up on Thursday morning.

'It will feel chilly at the Anzac Day Dawn Service - it is jacket weather. But it won't be too cold,' he said.

The minimum weather on Thursday is 15C before warming up to a mostly sunny 23C. 

There could be some shower activity on Saturday, although nothing significant, before warming back up on Sunday. 

It will stay reasonably warm on Monday for a top of 27C.

The maximum temperatures between Thursday and Saturday will be a cold 16C to 17C maximum, before warming up on Sunday to 20C.

Melbourne will experience colder temperatures and showers late on Monday. 

'It's typical in Autumn to see this type of weather. The cold front has a high-pressure ridge, moving it along to the other states,' Ms Konta said.

Adelaide is much drier than the other states, although it may have an occasional shower. 

The week will be relatively mild with a top of 19C on Thursday.
