McMurdo Station is an American Antarctic research station on the southern tip of Ross Island.

Temperature now -24 degrees.

Given that the sun is still down in all of Antarctica, and will be for McMurdo Station until August 18th, the winter weather there will be very cold for a while longer. Meanwhile, you are only 3842 kilometres flight distance from Casey Station, Antarctica. And you are 1687 kilometres flight distance south from Rockhampton. I guess that Antarctic air is affecting you big time.

USR's mass is affecting earth's orbit. Lower mass and distance from sun increases.

Yes the cold wind from the roaring 40s sometimes gets directed at Melbourne.

We're expecting 1 degree tonight but colder in the
outer suburbs of Melbourne.
Last night may have been the coldest night in Melbourne for 40 years.

We are enjoying pleasant east to southeast winds for the next week. Even with the rain coming on Sunday, the lowest temperatures will be around 12°C.

I almost forgot. I saw negative temperatures in Melbourne observations, some years ago. The temperatures were getting down to -5°C in some suburbs.

Homos are responsible?

Rockhampton is not the centre of the Universe or Pluriverse?

It's the "homies" that control the weather balance around the world. Not the "homos".

Rockhampton is the centre of the multiverse.

Poor Monk and Socks:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-03/southern-australia-cold-weather-subzero-t...

In short:

Minimum temperatures dropped below 0 degrees Celsius in some parts of southern Australia overnight.

Liawenee in Tasmania was the coldest place in Australia, dropping to minus-12.9C

—
the lowest recorded across the country.

Liawenee in Tasmania was the coldest place in the country, dropping to minus-12.9 degrees Celsius.

It was the lowest temperature recorded in Australia so far this year, according to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).
Liawenee is at an elevation/altitude/height above sea level of 1060 m above sea level.

https://www.intrepidtravel.com/au/australia/weather-in-australia

The likes of Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia,
and Tasmania generally experience cold to freezing winters
and warm to hot summers with a few exceptions here and there
(Tasmania gets colder than the other states listed due to its proximity to Antarctica).

Socks had jumped onto my bed and was comfy and warm under the thick woollen tablecloth

I know Monk lives at a mild altitude. But, he is not on the tablelands. Homes in Tassie are built to stand the cold. I bet Socks laid in the house, with the heater going.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-04/australias-highest-air-pressure-recorded-...

In short:

Climate change to fuel stronger highs

It took more than half a century to break Australia's air pressure record, but if weather trends continue, the next challenge could occur in a much shorter time span.

Data from the BOM shows both the density and intensity of highs has increased since 1950 around Australia, meaning not only are high pressure systems more frequent, they are also slowly gaining in strength.

The weather station at Sheffield in Tasmania reported a pressure of above 1044.3 hectopascals on Thursday morning.
If confirmed it beats the previous Australian record from 1967.

It is contributing to extreme low overnight temperatures over south-east states and a lengthy stretch of showery days along the eastern seaboard.
What's next?

The Bureau of Meteorology expects sea levels over south-east Australia will drop accordingly.

Unprecedented high atmospheric pressure is currently being observed across south-east Australia, including a preliminary new national record measured in Tasmania this morning.

The weather station at Sheffield reported a pressure of 1,044.6 hectopascals (hPa) at 10:30am, which if confirmed beats the previous Australian record of 1,044.3hPa at Launceston on June 7, 1967.

The potential record is slightly contentious due to changing observation frequencies and techniques between now and 1967.

However, the high looks likely to peak again near 1,044hPa early Saturday, providing another opportunity for a record before the system weakens from Sunday.

The abnormal pressure is having a significant impact on the nation's weather, including extreme low overnight temperatures over south-east states and a lengthy stretch of showery days along the eastern seaboard.
