It's only Monday morning but Canberra has already shivered through what looks to be the coldest temperatures of the week.

Temperatures reached their coldest around 6am with a low of about minus 4 degrees, although with calm, still conditions it seemed much cooler.

Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Rosemary Barr said the apparent temperature, or "feels like" temperature, plummeted as low as minus 6.8 degrees.

Although the cold mornings would continue throughout the week, they would not be quite as chilly as Monday morning, Ms Barr said.
