So we’re watching a replay of the Australian Open from Melbourne, and I saw a woman in the crowd wearing a warm puffy jacket. I thought that was odd, since I had read that it was like a zillion degrees down there . So I looked at a brief weather history for Melbourne and found this. A forty-six degree temperature swing in three days ?? That’s nuts! How unseasonably cool are these temps? Or has your weather finally broken for good?

Summer in Victoria and Tasmania is frequently this way. Primarily because south is Antarctica and north is the desert and the weather systems they produce in a fair fight (when both the Indian Ocean Dipole and Southern Oscillation Index are neutral) can quickly overtake one or the other.
It may have been just last year that a short heatwave in Melbourne ended with a s outh westerly change that bought snow to hills north east of Melbourne.

I’m guessing that’s 4 AUD. In USD that would be about 40.
