Headline check
The one thing this headline claims did not turn up in the report.
“Millions” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked
The article, shortened and in plain language
Australians in the south-east states are being advised to expect a wintry blast this week, ending a brief spell of spring sunshine.
The Bureau of Meteorology says it's thanks to a cold front that will race up the east coast from Tuesday, which may even bring snow in Tasmania, Victoria and NSW.
For Victorians, it will mean showers and possible small hail in Melbourne and Geelong before clearing at the end of the day. For Melburnians, Tuesday's maximum of 14C will feel much cooler because of gusty winds.
Its long-range forecast for September to November predicts both daytime and overnight temperatures are likely to be above average in most of Australia.

This is SBS News's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with

that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure
