90+F in Rockhampton is a typical summer's day. Start seeing those days by October.

That's springtime in the southern hemi. Temps start to mellow out of the 90F's by now as the northern slowly descend into autumn but you know, it all comes down to Bobby's car windows as to the fate of weather systems on a global scale. Undecided

Reply #257 - Aug 29^th, 2016 at 11:41am I used to work out of Longreach for many years, in the zeros or lows for the night, in the scorchers during the day. Not bad down here in Melb though - has been a relatively good winter.

A customer of mine told me about how he worked out east of Alice Springs. He told me that in that year, the temperature got down to -10 degrees celsius.

I think I have only experienced one negative degree day in my life. Never seen a zero degree day since before 2010.

Still cold in Canberra, down to about 4° overnight and about 15° during the day. I still have the heating on 24/7. Spring is when the wind blows from the direction of the "Australian Alps" (snowfields) and can be quite cold due to the snow melting. I doubt we will get a hot day until at least December. I've actually had the heating on for Christmas. This is why the pollies don't live in Canberra, they come when Parliament is Sitting and leave straight afterwards. Which is a great thing for us Canberrans. Grin

I alternated between 2 sites, 1 was about 30Km out of Longreach, the other around 180K at a place called Stonehenge. Now that got cold!

At 4 degrees, I would turn the oven on to about 80 degrees and leave the door open. The kitchen would be the only part of the house warm. But at least it did some good throughout the house. I also had citronella tea lights that I would light up in my loungeroom. They were effective in keeping the room warm.

Seems like Rockhampton had a late start to Winter. A mild Winter. And we may have a late start to Spring. Probably will be a wet Summer.
