Hi All Same up here in Canberra re maximums, currently sitting on an average of 14.0 for July Vs av 12.7C at the airport. Tuggeranong is sitting on 14.2C vs Av 12.4C. Rest of the month looks in around 16 or 17. Minimums on the offer hand have been cold with many frosts, e.g. Tuggeranong is averaging ...

Hi Blackee I haven't had a chance to go read the Nylex 1000 yet, but rained most of the day, the Tuggeranong gauge is on 16.6mm so will be around that, a bit more to come tonight. Max of only 6.5C today, luckily the forecast wind hasn't eventuated. Looks windier tomorrow and EC has the 850 temps ...

Hi All Here in Wanniassa, Southern Canberra, I recorded 16mm overnight, taking the May total to 102mm, another well above average month, May usually is the driest month of the year here, Tuggeranong just down the road averages 26.6mm in May. Another 20mm or so expected on Monday. Backyard is ...

Good to hear the forum is back

Well done all.

Just in time for winter.

Has reached 42.9C in Canberra smashing the old record maximum of 42.2C. Strong NW winds making for scary fire weather.

Hoping no fires get going to the west of ACT.

Nick

Still a mild (relatively) 4C in Canberra this morning, though apparent temp is well below 0. Tomorrow morning looks like it may all come together, well according to EC with snow possible in Canberra.

Nick

Rain started about an hour ago in Canberra and has set in. Tomorrow morning looking like snow.

Nick

Snow on the nearby hills of Canberra forecasted Fri and Sat.

Certainly looks cold enough, depends on moisture at the right time.

If GFS comes off could be snow about Sunday morning.

Nick

-5.0C overnight in Canberra.

Not looking as good for snow on Friday, still a chance, very cold over the weekend, just need some moisture.

Nick

Hi JasmineStorm

26 August 2017 was last decent snow, fell for about 30 min.
Hoping GFS holds, has about 10 cm

Looking very cold in Canberra from Thursday 8 August 2019 at least Sunday 11 August 2019.

The way the models are shaping up this it could be a significant snow event for Canberra and the ACT.

Nick

Warmest July on record in Canberra for maximums.

http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/m ... mary.shtml

Average maximum was 13.7C.

Only 5mm of rain at the airport.

Nick

Showers starting to build to the west of the ACT, should be a wet and windy night. Still snow chance tomorrow morning, depends if there are any showers left when the coldest air is around (always an issue for snow in Canberra).

Severe Weather Warning for damaging winds issued.

About a mm overnight, tomorrow looks wetter with about 10mm expected, mainly Friday night. Still snow possible on Saturday morning, going to be some low apparent temps on the weekend.

Nick

Wind starting to pick up in Gungahlin (northern suburb Canberra), expect it to get much stronger overnight and tomorrow. Severe weather warning for damaging winds current for Southern ACT and adjacent NSW, wouldn't be surprised if it is extended to other parts of the ACT. Snow touch and go for the ...

Chance of snow about the higher suburbs of Canberra Saturday morning if there is any precipitation around, 850 temps around -4 and 500mb temps of -31C. Will try and get to some higher spots to see if I can score some snow.

I should add it is looking very windy during this period.

Nick

Only about a mm in the end, disappointing, looking towards Weds onwards for the start of a series of fronts and a cold outbreak. Models thinking about 10mm, will be cold and breezy, a change from the mild mid teens of late.

Nick

Hi All With the closure of weatherzone forums I plan to start posting about ACT weather in AWF. Has been a mild start to July with maximums in the mid teens in Canberra, minimums on the other hand have been cold, mostly negatives. Looking towards Sun/Mon for some instability and later next week for ...
