“It’s been an absolutely brutal winter in much of eastern Australia, “says news.com.au.
“From the cities to the bush, this has been one of the coldest, snowiest, miserablest winters anyone can remember.”
“Um, is that even a word?” the writers ask.
Some key stats:
– Melbourne’s average max temperature was just 13.1 in July, 0.2 below the July average. It has been many years since a southern Australian capital was below average for a whole month.
– Brisbane’s average monthly max in July was 18.1, considerably cooler than the usual 18.9.
– Adelaide’s July average max was also well down: 14.7 compared to the usual 15.3.
– Canberra’s average max was 11.5 in July compared to the usual 11.4. But at night the average minimum was minus 0.7, considerably colder than the usual minus 0.1.
“But raw temperature measurements don’t on their own convey just how brutal this winter has been.
“Some locations in the central west of NSW have now seen five snowfalls in five weeks. These are places that are lucky to see one snowfall a year.”
