Hi all.

 

As you have all probably noted. Not a day under zero here so far. Some 0.2s but nothing under so far. There has been frosts of course.

 

Also noted that Canola normally starts to flower on the 1st of August, yes I take note, but this year has started flowering just before the start of July.

 

According to farmers I have spoken to, then that means it will be no good, as any frost now will just destroy any seed on the plant.

 

Over and out.

 

Regards Bussy

Funny you mention that Bussy, I've only had two frosts in my cold hollow in southside Brisbane so far this season which is WELL below average. My annual average is 14 frosts. 

Not surprising though given that the SE quarter of Australia has had much warmer than normal min temps that kicked in from May onwards. It's only in more recent weeks that those warm anomalies seem to have relaxed a bit.

Ken.

Hi all,

Here at Gilmore North well below average number of frost level temperatures recorded and few frosts. 

May - no below zero Minimums, Lowest Minimum was 1.8 degrees on 22nd.

June - 4 mornings just below zero, lowest was -0.4 degrees on the 8th.

July up to 22nd - 5 mornings below zero, lowest so far -2.7 degrees on the  20th.

In the last few days, we have recorded three below zero mornings in a row, -2.4 (19th), -2.7 (20th) -1.3 (21st)

 Barometric Pressure at 0900 has been very high since Autumn; Highest readings each month were; 1037.2 (12th May),1036.5 (25th June) and 1039.0(6th July). I am not sure, but that last reading is one of the highest I have ever recorded, at least in Canberra.

Appears a return to normal winter temperatures is one the way with a polar outbreak moving up from the Southern Ocean.

Cheers,

Gavin
