Is the record taken for the airport or Melbourne central? ( actually Tullamarine airport wasn't operational in 1885). Where was the station located in 1885?
Was a recordfor highest min temp set for Melbourne last night?
The temps last night and tonight look close to that record?
Nice to know these high minimum temps in August occurred in an event over a hundred years ago when the pollution factor was less significant.
Makes the warm weather winter extreme this week , fit within the boundaries of Melbourne's past.
I would call it extreme normality. LOL
Especially since Melbourne has become a great city since 1885 and produces a heating effect anomaly
I find that a little comforting.
There is a 3/4 jet air low ( n-shaped jet air with steep northern flow and then a steep curve southerly flow) as seen on the jet stream map).
That looks too well defined to vanish any day soon. Its a little to the west of Adelaide but alreadythen signs of that translating to a ground level low near Yorke/peninsula. Reckon the upper air is set up to assist in establishing an ECL once that upper low approaches the east coast.
Surely the chances of an ECL developing are very good?
