The weather bureau says temperatures in Alice Springs dropped to their lowest in 10 years this morning.

Bureau spokesman Joel Lisonbee says a temperature of minus 4.9 was recorded at 6:00am (ACST).

He says temperatures are expected to stay low for the next few days.

"Last night it dropped to minus 4.9, so basically minus five degrees in Alice Springs - that was measured at the Alice Springs airport," he said.

"Minus 4.9 is notably cold, it's the coldest Alice Springs has felt in 10 years.

"The last time we dropped this cold was on the first of July 2002."
