Well winter only has a few weeks left in the SH, and from what I have seen your winters just seem to pass by year in year out without nary a cold blast anywhere. Are there brutal cold outbreaks from Antarctica anywhere down there, ever?
Well, last 12 days in Maquinchao, patagonian town:
Actually colder than the coldest 12 day period in New York City this past winter, at same latitude.
Does that classify as cold blast to you?
From the today in history files: 1896 -Reefton ( a town about two hours south of here) lost power during a thunder storm, right in the middle of their "100 years of electric power" celebrations. The actual plan was to cut off power for a short period at the exact time the power first started, but nature took care of it for them.
No sign of any cold change yet. Yesterday was crappy, but not particularly cold. This morning is a relatively mild 3C and raining.

For a city, Dunedin had -7.4C at the airport.
For a small town, Ophir had -9C
These are only up until the end of June, bt It don't think this winter will get much colder than that at low altitude this winter.

For inhabited towns, here Uspallata had -15.2C, El Calafate had -17C and Abra Pampa had -18.6C this winter
Rain-wise: February was absolutely awful, in my case, the worst on record, March and April nice, May dreadful, June (thankfully) was very wet with rainfall more than 200-600% above normal and this month also above normal which is nice :-).
August is not, judging by current models, looking like a good month for rainfall but we will see.
Fervently hoping for an repeat of the 1986 event :-)
Heartily tired of the incessant horrible icy westerly wind, can't wait for the warmer N/E/S flow to kick in :-)
I, thankfully, take back the "dry" August comment now with frequent heavy and at times torrential rain/shower activity taking place since Tuesday .
City site recorded over 85mm in 48 hours making it the heaviest August fall in nine years according to WZ.
Nice to have a break from the icy westerly with more humid and cloudy southerlies blowing
Certainly shaping up to be another year of well above average rainfall with several eastern suburbs sites recording between 1200 -1300mm YTD with four and an half months to go.
Looking back - 2005 was an very bad year with just 949mm falling and since 2010 rainfall has consistently - bar some few ugly "dry" months in between" - been above average
Looks like Sydney has now entered an period of protracted wet weather not that I'm complaining
Heavy shower passing by now as I type
