What caused the extreme cold in June 2025?

A deep Antarctic air mass moved over southeast Australia, combining with clear skies and snow cover to create intense radiative cooling. BOM models indicated a trough amplified from the Southern Ocean, dropping temperatures 10–12°C below the June average.
