9.2mm here this weekend, mostly from almost constant drizzle. It cleared up this afternoon, but has stayed cloudy. That takes us to about 66mm for the month, which is now above average.

Queenslanders would have really felt that cold weather this weekend, something they’re not at all used to!

A whole raft of coldest daily maximum temps were smashed in Queensland yesterday. The last time I saw anything like this in Northern Australia was June 2007.

Carnarvon in WA is really start to cop it with gale force NE'ly's from the out-of-season cyclone now making an impact. It looks like a fair bit of the Pilbara is being blown into the Indian Ocean: https://ozforecast.com.au/cgi-bin/weath ... &animate=6

A cold and mostly overcast 13c today. It looks fairly mild into next week before more cold weather in a week's time. Not much precip though.

Max of 8C here yesterday and 9C today. 1mm in the gauge from drizzle yesterday.

Not much weather in the progs, and unfortunately might miss the Melbourne YTD record by the barest of margins (less than 1mm) if it is fine until months end. Hopefully we sneak a few showers on Wednesday with a decaying front.

Queensland was certainly chilly. Perhaps in the silliest stats Cairns Ap which set a hot maximum temperature record earlier in the month set a cold maximum temperature record :D An 80 year record so quite significant.

Here’s the records mapped. This combines stations back to 1910 so some short records won’t feature. The darkest blue is the records.

Stunning day up here this morning to close the thread. Here’s a photo from Ferny Creek looking over the burbs to Mt Macedon. The lighting was near perfect.
