If things felt a little chilly when you got out of bed this morning, it wasn't just you.
Melbourne has shivered through the coldest morning this year, with the mercury plummeting to 7.4 degrees just before 8am.
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Richard Carlyon confirmed it was the coldest morning in Melbourne in more than six months.
"It was 7.4 degrees at 7.55am. That will probably be the minimum, so that does make it the coldest day this year," he said.
"It's the coldest day since October 28 last year, when it was 6.3 degrees."
If you thought that was bad, spare a thought for Ballarat, where the temperature was a frosty -1.4 degrees at 5am.
As of 9.30am the mercury in Melbourne was steadily rising, sitting at 9.6 degrees. It is forecast to reach a top of 16 degrees around 2pm.
Unfortunately conditions won't be any better heading into Thursday when the overnight temperature is expected to bottom out at just 5 degrees.
"It will be colder tomorrow morning with clear skys that will allow temperatures to fall quicker throughout the night," Mr Carlyon said.
Temperatures will lift heading into the weekend but it looks as though winter is barrelling toward us.
Mr Carlyon said minimum temperatures would "recover for a few days", hovering around 9 degrees on Friday morning and 12 degrees on Saturday morning.
"After tomorrow morning it's not so cold but it certainly looks like tomorrow will be the coldest day of the year."
The chill was only a matter of time after a long Indian summer which resulted in abnormally warm conditions in March.
In mid-March, the average daytime temperature was 27.8 degrees - nearly 4 degrees above the long-term average of 23.9.
April was also a warmer than average month with temperatures in Melbourne 0.5 degrees above average. Parts of Victoria also experienced rainfall three times above normal.
