Variable weather

[Don White]

After the 2^nd coldest Boxing ever and the coldest for 138 years, Sydney finished  off the Xmas – New Year period with the coldest New Year’s Day for 26 years. … 

And it would have been longer  if the maximum on NYD  hadn’t  been recorded at 9 am this morning !!!  (Bit silly, really)

Hi Don and all.

 

Hope you all had a great Xmas and New year. Santa went straight passed again this year.

 

Why can't they just change it to midnight now as I wouldn't think there'd be too many manual readings anymore would there?

 

I go back to work mid next week right when the hottest days are Gunna start. Showing 41.5 Wednesday, 44.5 on Thursday and 45.1 on Friday. Not looking forward to that. That is getting a bit too hot.

 

Regards Bussy

Actually, about 20% of the daily max/min network is still manual (and of course there are also issues with comparability with historical data).

Hi Blair.

 

I wouldn't have thought it would be still that high.

It is. They tend not to be very visible because most of them only report once a day (at 9am), but there are still some parts of the country where much of the temperature network is manual, like southern inland NSW and the WA wheatbelt (in the latter case there is an extensive WA government AWS network).
