Climate- SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA SETS A NEW ALL-TIME LOW TEMPERATURE RECORD IN BOOKS DATING BACK TO 1913

OCTOBER 29, 2019 CAP ALLON

A surprise mid-Spring Antarctic freeze just blasted southern Australia, with some spots registering their lowest back-to-back temps this late in the year in more than a century.

Conditions conspired to deliver South Australia’s Kingscote a bone-chilling low of 0C (32F) — the town’s coldest temperature this late in the season for more than 25 years.

In addition, the fishing port town of Robe recorded 0.8C (33.4F) — it’s lowest in 15 years

And Stenhouse Bay registered 8.3C (46.9F) — its coldest temp this late in 14 years.

Things turned even-more impressive further east:


The mercury in Rutherglen, Victoria plunged to -2.1C (28.2F) on Sunday morning and then -0.9C (30.4F) on Monday morning — temperatures well below the town’s October average minimum of 6C (42.8F), and the first pair of mornings below zero this late in the year in record books dating back to 1913.

Eyeing forward, yet more anomalous cold looks set to engulf the majority of Australia early next week.

Latest GFS runs show Antarctic air plunging deep into the continent as we head into November:

GFS TEMP ANOMALY (C)

The cold times are returning in line with historically low solar activity.
