I thought that plus 8 C was cold enough...I think that snow fell on the Eungella Range, some 70 km west of Mackay, in 1963 Cheers, Bobj. Was about 8 degrees with the sun shining today where I’m from in U.K. (Midlands) and all the kids at the school I work at were running around with their coats off at breaktime.. felt like summer after the -6 last week Edited March 5, 2018 by maidensarah 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Those temperatures are misleading. They are not the predicted weather outlook but lowest minimum temperatures recorded in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Just lovely here today. Big blue sky and 22C predicted. Managed a swim at the beach yesterday - thought it might be my last until next summer but might go down again for another this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 6 minutes ago, Sunset said: They are the coming years weather predictions according to the bureau No they aren't. Firstly, it's not a prediction by the Bureau of Meteorology. It's by an amateur forecaster who doesn't work for the BOM: he has a Facebook page. He is predicting the winter will be colder.....but the temperatures shown on that map aren't his predictions. Those temperatures are the lowest July temps recorded for Australian capital cities in the past, not temperatures he is predicting for the future. If you look at the original article in the Daily Mail it says Quote Daily Mail Australia has compiled a map to show the lowest July temperatures ever recorded using the Government's Bureau of Meteorology climate data search function. and underneath that map is also the explainer: Quote A map showing the lowest July temperatures ever recorded for major cities, according to the Bureau of Meteorology This is the original article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5466309/The-map-Australian-see.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gbye grey sky Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The past few weeks have easily been the worst, weather-wise that we have experienced here. February had double the average rainfall, almost all of that in the second half of February. And on 8 March we have surpassed average monthly March rainfall already with more rain expected still. The ground is totally saturated. First time I have said this since moving but a bit of dry, sunny weather would not go amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been getting high 20's / low 30's over the past week or so in Melbourne and I could do with a bit of autumnal weather now after a long summer to be honest! Travelling on Melbourne public transport everyday in this weather isn't much fun. Just checked the forecast for the Easter school holidays and it will have cooled down nicely by then to the high teens / low twenties, perfect for an Easter egg hunt with the kids! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobj Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Might have to find my flannel lined tracksuit pants, as it is definitely cooling down at night...27 C Tuesday, 25 C Wednesday and 22 C last night...And short rain scuds all day, every day for the last week; but 31 C to 30 C during the days, here, in downtown Ball Bay.
