Australia Endures More Record Cold, Rare Flakes Forecast For Central Peaks
A polar air mass once again sent temperatures crashing across Australia.
All-time records for the month of June were broken in the West yesterday, at the likes of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport (9C/48.2F) and Rottnest Island (5C/41F)–for example.
Western Australia’s cold extended into this morning, too (June 27) with Perth Airport shivering through -0.6C (30.1F) — its 4th lowest temperature ever recorded. The last time the state capital got that cold was July 2012.
Other notable lows include Jandakot’s -0.9C (30.4F), Collie East’s -2.3C (27.9F), Gingin’s -2.4C (27.7F), and Wandering’s -2.5C (27.5F).
Unseasonable lows and widespread rains (and pockets of snows) are stretching from the Kimberley in WA to Victoria. Day time highs are holding some 10C below average, and are forecast to drop as much as 14C below the norm towards by Thursday.
Bureau of Meteorology’s Jessica Lingard attempts to explain away the record cold, attributing it a natural origin: The cold front pushed cool air into the Perth metro area, she said, and a lack of cloud cover exacerbated the freezing temperatures.
Contrast that with the BoM’s boilerplate go-to whenever anomalous heat arrives: “global warming did it”.
Looking ahead, temperatures in Central Australia are set to plunge to near-freezing levels this week.
It will be “extremely cold,” admitted BoM senior forecaster Billy Lynch.
Incessant rains are also forecast in Alice Springs, with the mercury set to drop extraordinarily low there.
Similarly for the likes of Yulara and Uluru, readings in the single-digits are forecast every day this week.
Even more astonishingly, snow is forecast to dust the desert’s peaks.
“[The weather model] needs to be treated cautiously, but it is indicating that on Friday and Saturday there is a significant cold pool moving across Central Australia,” Lynch said. “As strange as it sounds I’m not willing to rule out the chance of snow.”
–‘Strange’ to AGW Party members only, not to those living with data, logic and knowledge of the solar cycles.
Eyeing the east, NSW’s Canberra is expected to plunge to as low as 0C (32F) on Friday – Sunday, with widespread frosts expected; Brisbane, too, will hold aberrantly cold — as BoM prophecies for a ‘warmer-than-average winter’ continue to be proved a joke, an embarrassing, agenda-driving pile of bosh and bellywash.
New Caledonia Cools
Cold nights have struck many Tropical Pacific Islands this week.
The New Caledonia commune of Konè bottomed out at 6.5C (43.7F) — a reading just 0.3C off the locale’s all-time record low.
Similarly feats were noted along the New Caledonia archipelago, such as in Ile Marè — and also in nearby Vanuatu and Fiji.
The cold even reached subtropical Easter Island with 10.9C (51.6F) logged — a rare low.
Feet Of Snow Still Blanketing Utah’s Peaks
Utah’s Alta Ski Area closed for the season back in April, but the mountain is still covered in feet of snow.
The below video shows the Main Chute, Alta’s iconic trail, is still skiing well:
The Main Chute is a spring staple for backcountry skiers, but such coverage this late in the year is “completely unprecedented,” reports powder.com.
Alta Ski Area posted a historic 903 inches (75.25 feet) of snow last season, and was one of at least 19 U.S. resorts to break their all-time snowfall records.
“A characteristic of a government that has gone criminal – as has sometimes happened in history – is that its leaders cannot learn, all records and good sense may tell them that disaster follows oppression; yet it has taken a violent revolution to handle them or a World War II to get rid of a Hitler and those were very unhappy events for Mankind. Such did not learn. They reveled in false data. They refused all evidence and truth. They had to be blown away!” L. Ron Hubbard – from the book “Way To Happiness” p. 134 last paragraph, published 1981, 2001, 2005, 2009
AND…America and Europe are deep into a REPEAT of that Destructive History…
I’m getting my radar antenna up and putting a couple seemingly isolated news reports together to form a threatening trend. Kerry inventing a new gas threat that requires reducing live stock in the country & the recent FDA approval of lab grown meat. At best this is just Kerry abusing the power of the national government so he can give friends in the alternative meat industry a leg up. To Washington representatives the government is a toy for personal profit. Can anyone say kickbacks! Something more sinister however is they can take a big wedge out of the food supply and then find a reason to discontinue the lab grown meat. Can anyone say☠️
That implies a level of intelligence and forward planning that politicians such as Kerry probably aren’t capable of. The eco-nutters, or loony left as they’re sometimes called in the UK, are constantly scared by new “threats” to the planet and constantly on the lookout for things to ban/restrict. Kerry is simply acting like the sheep he is and following New Zealand, Netherlands, Ireland etc.
Here’s something I had not heard, from an article linked in yesterday’s EV comments: The 2000 to 2600 year climate cycle. Is this cycle an established, reliable concept?
Excerpt:
“Starting with the hype: During the last grand solar minimum (GSM), the Maunder Minimum of 1645 to 1715, glaciers advanced, rivers froze, sea ice expanded — in short, the Little Ice Age. Is another one is almost upon us?
“Probably not. Maunder occurred at the tail end of a bi-millennial cycle. These cycles range between 2,000 and 2,600 years in length and see the Earth first warm, then cool. Gradual cooling had been going on for hundreds of years. Maunder just capped it off. Today we are a few hundred years into the warming phase of the subsequent bi-millennial cycle. Different starting conditions yield different paths.”
Sorry, here’s the link to the referenced article.

The part about the LIA coming at the end of several hundred years of gradual cooling is correct, so a few very weak solar cycles, 26, 27 and maybe 28 might not reduce global temperatures to LIA levels. I’m not sure what cycle is being referred to with a length of 2,000-2,600 years. There seems to be a roughly 900 year long cycle which we’re at the peak of. The previous peak was the Medieval Warm Period which saw the highest temperatures in the 11th Century, so the depths of the LIA were roughly midway between the 2 peaks. Prior to the MWP was the dark ages cooling which followed the Roman Warm Period peaking in the 1st or 2nd Century. Going even further back was the Minoan Warming and at least one more warm period which coincided with the early Egyptian dynasties.
Thanks, Matt.
Considering the long-term temperature graph going back toward the last ice age, I did realize there were alternating centuries of warmer and cooler but had not considered how the general momentum of rising or falling global temps might factor into the performance of a shorter span of several sunspot cycles.
ADAPT 2030 ON GUTUBE HAS THE INFORMATION. DAVID DU BYNE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE HISTORICAL DATA OF CLIMATE CYCLES. VERY CLEAR WE ARE HEADING INTO A COOLING TREND IN SOUTHERN HEMISPERE FROM THE HUNG TUNGA VOLCANO THAT IS AFFECTING THE WEATHER AND CROP PRODUCTION VERY OBVIOUS.
‘…..she said, and a lack of cloud cover exacerbated the freezing temperatures.’
Right there is the simplest observation one can make to disprove the CO2 mediated AGW narrative. If the one molecule of atmospheric CO2 in every 2500 molecules of atmospheric gases (mostly Nitrogen) truly acted in a global manner to trap heat like a greenhouse, then the record cold nights under clear skies we have been experiencing here in Australia since mid-autumn would not eventuate. Where has all this supposed trapped atmospheric heat gone on such clear cold evenings? There has been plenty of radiant sun during the corresponding clear days. This is a simple demonstration that it is in fact H2O and clouds that play the role of trapping heat in the atmosphere and in their absence the nights are as cold as they have ever been in records dating back around 150 years here in Australia.
re Australia – the bent jet stream is being attributed the trending NW-SE cloud band now over Australia according to one met report. Rain expected along the band from the dragging in of tropical moisture (near Darwin) while to the south is cold antarctic air.
See Ventrusky web site 300hpa (9,000m alt) – shows the bent/split jet stream
Using temp at 2m AGL at 3 pm today 28/6 – to the north of main jet stream temp is about 30deg C while to the south (most of Australia) it is less than 15 deg C and down to around 5 deg C in SE corner (Sydney – alps – Melbourne).
The meandering jet stream effect? Little is mentioned about it in Australian weather reporting.
