Re: Long mid winter mild spell under westerly flow: July 12-

3.8c overnight here. No frost of course but it's still good to be closer to normal. Just a smidgeon of rain here yesterday, which wasn't quite enough to register in the gauge. It's turning into a dry month, and very El Nino-like, although we're not quite in an El Nino yet. Wow, it was -2° with a hu...

Re: Long mid winter mild spell under westerly flow: July 12-

Wow absolutely feral morning. I took this pic this morning of Mt Macedon with the huge cap cloud hovering. It doesn't look like it but I could barely stay upright against the howling north wind. Big difference between here at work 6° and home which has just dropped to 0.9° up there in that cloud mas...

Spring-like weather here today , sun, cloud, showers, wind and repeat.
Just ducked home for lunch and it was only 5.5° up there. Currently 8° at work in Macedon.

Frosty -4° at work in Macedon this morning. It was frosty +2° at home on the mountain.
-4° at Woodend and -4.4° at Trentham.
Proper cold morning for this very mild July.

Re: Long mid winter mild spell under westerly flow: July 12-

Yes it's boring as hell. 18 in Melbourne yesterday and an even 10°max at my place. To think when I first started recording at Mt Macedon twenty years ago I could get the entire winter and longer without going over 10° now I get at least one or two higher than 10 days in each winter month.

Boring weather lately. We have been stuck in fog cloud for six of the last seven days. It's getting old fast!

Re: Deep low, followed by cold outbreak: June 22-30

Still struggling to get above 10c here. Max today was 9.8c. It has been a month of two halves - very mild in the first two weeks and then much cooler in the last two. But windy pretty much all the way through! We’ll finish up on 97mm for the month. So close to the ton but not quite. A big high is s...

Re: Deep low, followed by cold outbreak: June 22-30

Woohoo! I'm managed to get back in on my old phone on WiFi. The new one needs its cookies and cache dealt with but it's not clear to me how to do it. Me and tech- chalk and cheese! What a cold day for Central Vic. It was the same temp in Shepparton as it was at my work in Macedon. 6°! crazy! Even wo...

Re: Troughs and a low 5 June - ?

55mm for the 24hours to 9am at my house. Just under 80mm since Sunday arvo. By comparison there was only 21mm where I work five km from home at Macedon. Rain shadowed again. The enire 24hours of Wednesday remained above 10° at my place. I don't think I've ever seen that happen in any winter month in...

Re: Troughs and a low 5 June - ?

Rain is thumping down now.
It's so weird to be so warm in June. 12.3° at 11pm at Mt Macedon in June is unforgivable.

Re: Strong front followed by a week of westerlies: May 25-

May for me was really cold. Mean max was only 7.5° and I had 23 days with a max less than 10°. More like June than May.
75mm of rain with one day of snow falling and two frosts.

A frosty -2° for me at work this morning in Macedon. It was a much milder 5° five km away at home on Mt Macedon.
Short distance, big difference.

Re: Cool with some showers: May 16-23

Certainly is cold. My May median maximum temp so far is 8.4°.
Twelve days of the month so far have failed to reach 10° and the warmest day so far was 13.3°.
Feels like winter already.

Re: A cold shower start to May: 1-7

Freezing day for me, 0.7° min and 3.6° max.
Both yesterday and today came in under the forecast max.
A 3.6° max would not be out of place in July but its pretty impressive for early May.
