According to the latest predictions by weatherzone.com.au, Friday and Saturday, which were the two days expected to see snowfalls, will now be cold, windy and dry.

The predicted maximum temperature on both days is a brisk 8 degrees Celcius, with a low point of -1 degrees on Saturday.

The mercury is tipped to rise to double digits by Sunday ahead of a warmer start to next week, where maximum temperatures of up to 14 degrees are forecast.

According to the latest information, most of the nation can expect a hotter-than-average spring.

The Bureau of Meteorology's three-month outlook released on Thursday also shows the odds will favour milder overnight temperatures will extend through much of September to November for eastern half of the country.

Felicity Gamble, the bureau's acting head of climate prediction services, said that with neutral influences in the Indian, Pacific and Southern oceans, secondary factors such as the balmy waters off the east coast were playing a key role.

“We're seeing those above-average temperatures [of winter] continuing,” Ms Gamble said, adding a clear climate change signal was evident.

“It's the background trend in warming temperatures that we've seen over the past couple of decades.”
