Last night the largest snowfall of this winter fell on the higher parts of the central tablelands of New South Wales, in towns such as Oberon. There was actually a small shower of wet snow in Canberra yesterday, but for the most part the snow level has remained fairly high.
Here in Dalby, yesterday was another warm day with a maximum of 24.9C, but today and tomorrow should be cooler with a 19C max.

Mean max: ~11 C
Mean min: ~7 C
Rain: 83 mm Mean sunshine hours per day: 1.9
I'd take the former in a heartbeat!
Wow, 7C average minimum for Christchurch and no frosts! That's pretty crazy when the mean minimum for my town is about 0C and 12 nights have been 0C or below. The days have been nearly 10C warmer here though.

The power outages are because of strong winds, nothing to do with temperature.
Pine pollen season has started, so yellow dust/scum will be all over the place for the next month. Went skiing yesterday, the conditions reminded me of the bad seasons of the late 1990's. Still okay though, with only an 80cm base, but it will be a short season unless some decent falls come along.
The cold change on Friday night was not as significant as originally anticipated, although there is an Australian weather forum that seems to be over-run by snow-chasers, who did get some happy snaps - such is the novelty of the white stuff down here.
In the mean time we are looking at mid to high 20's by late next week, particularly in inland areas: Singleton weather - local weather forecast
Normally some warmer weather in the 4th and 5th weeks of August is to be expected, (before it crashes again for the start of September!)
It's been a full three weeks without a frost now. Finally had a sunny day yesterday, an overcast morning clearing to blue dome afternoon. Not expecting to see any more of that for a while though.
You have no idea how AWFUL August has been so far in Buenos Aires. Only 2 DAYS OF SUN , and, not only that, but almost all days that has not been sunny its been RAINING. But not little raining or casual showers: STORMS! Its basically been a month full of storms. They say this month is gonna break all records on rain!
The average sunshine hours for August here is 174, and now, being 17th, is far far far away from it. Its impossible to get to those numbers, even if its sunny all days until august ends. But not only that, according to forecast, its gonna be raining all next week!!!
I ve never seen a month like that! at least 15 days of the month have been gloomy and raining and it seems its gonna continue that way? WOW! I have a glimpse of what a very rainy climate of england could be in the summer and its not pretty! Hate it.
I thank god for our 2500 sunshine hours and for the fact this is an anomaly, cause a month entirely with showers.....IT SUCKS
On top of that, it is warm (from 15c to 20c) and UBER HUMID, so everyones hairs are a mess and all is sticky. UGH
is this how an amsterdam summer is like? i hope not
Enjoy it while you can. I wish it were like that here
7c really isn't that cold. You are going on like you'd die if you went out in it and Sophie Amsterdam summers are warmer than that. I think its around 30c there today.
I don't care if you don't understand Sydney's climate on a planetary scale. 7C with icy westerlies blowing - have you ever heard of the wind chill factor? - is freezing to us What you find mild is cold to us and your summer temperatures is not even remotely hot by our standards as I can attain by my recent trip there!
And im just asking the amsterdam part cause my sister is living there since april and told me its COLD and it rains ALL DAY. I think 30c is clearly an anomaly. Probably their average does not go from 15 to 20c, but surely the temps there in summer are close to that than to 30c!!! And its supposed to rain more than 200 days a year in amsterdam?
Just serached in wikipedia: 12.8/22c is not that different at the temps we are having here, honestly. But the sunshine doesnt seem as bad in this particular month (though us didnt seem either, and its raining all day) but susnhine in cold/cool month is AWFUL there!!! its probably like this august but colder and darker?? wow
I spent a few days in Amsterdam and it was warm, sunny and humid, I recall temperatures reaching 28 degrees C.
