Australia’s BOM Denies Shepparton Its All-Time Record Low, Inexplicably Raises Temp 1.1C
Shepparton, a city in the Australian state of Victoria, shivered through its coldest day on record Wednesday, only for the Bureau of Meteorology to come along and refute the data, and claim the day actually rose higher than official observations.
There has been much said about the BoM’s recent switch from mercury thermometers to electronic probes — a move that went against WMO guidelines.
Electronic probes take a reading every single second of the day, and the highest value in a 24-hour period becomes the maximum reading for that day; they measure variances that would not be measured by traditional mercury.
According to an analysis of the data by independent scientists (after obtaining an FOI in court), the BoM’s new electronic probes were found to give readings 0.7C warmer than their traditional mercury counterparts — a fact the agency fought to conceal.
Returning to Shepparton, it appears the BoM’s new probes were still giving the wrong results; showing readings of 5.5C (41.9F) just after 2pm. This wound’t do, of course; record cold doesn’t help the AGW Party’ in its bid to demolish humanity’s hard-earned prosperity, and so all live readings on-and-around 2pm were inexplicably discounted, ignored, scrubbed from history.
Officially, the Bureau now has Wednesday’s high at 6.6C (43.9F) — a whopping 1.1C higher than originally displayed by the probes. And, in standard BoM stone-walling practice, there is no explanation given.
One question begged: How often does such ‘manipulation’ occur?
Still, despite the agency’s warm-mongering tactics, Wednesday’s low-max is still a historic anomaly.
The BoM’s 6.6C (43.9F) reading still ranks among the top 10 coldest days in Shepparton since 1962 (when including the older-running Lemnos weather station); and it still makes it the city’s coldest day since July 9, 1995 (solar minimum of cycle 22).
Furthermore, despite the ‘helping hand’ provided by the electronic probes (0.7C warmer than their mercury counterparts), the Aussie continent is still showing irrefutable cooling; in fact, quite substantially cooling over the past 2-or-so years.
Utah Sets New Avalanche Record
As was the case with practically all western U.S. states last winter, Utah posted historic snow totals.
One upshot of the unprecedented snowpack has been avalanches, which, according to Utah Avalanche Center executive director Chad Brackelsburg, totaled an unprecedented 1,188. An “outstanding” feat, he said, one that surpasses all previous years.
In its annual report, released earlier this week, the Utah Avalanche Center discusses the 92 people being carried and buried by the avalanches through winter and spring, three of which perished.
The report talks of the major road closures due to the slides, and also the shuttings of Alta and Snowbird ski resorts after their relentless pounding by historic snowstorm after historic snowstorm and the resulting record-slaying accumulations.
Note, Utah’s resorts were among the 19 U.S. ski areas to break their all-time snowpack records this year (third story below)…
Brackelsburg also points to the state’s drainage basins finishing well-over 200% of the median snow water equivalent.

Greenland’s Summer Snow And Ice Gains Intensify
The Greenland ice sheet has fared exceptionally well since 2017, and has shown a stark reversal since its 2012 low.
Despite hapless mainstream proclamations to the contrary, the glacier has been holding incredibly well this season, too, refusing to melt even with July fast approaching; actually GAINING mass instead.
Greenland posted its strongest ever-start to a snow/ice season in 2022, and its surface mass balance (SMB) –a calculation used to determine the ‘health’ of a glacier– has been flirting with the 1981-2010 mean ever since.
Now, into late-June, the SMB is once again on the march, once again cracking above that multidecadal mean.
Just yesterday, June 21 –at the official onset of summer, no less– Greenland GAINED a monstrous 4 gigatons of mass:
Below is a closer look at Wednesday’s historic gains (unprecedented in Danish Meteorological Institute books dating back to 1981):
Note also the accumulated surface mass balance for the 2022-23 season (blue line below).
See the record-setting start (Sept-Dec), the holding of the 1981-2010 mean (grey line) from Jan-April, and now the conclusive punching back through that mean in June–a time when the ice sheet would ordinarily be losing mass.
And realize, this season is not an anomaly, it being the 5th year out of the last 7 where ice gains have held above the mean.
For a deep-dive into these agenda-wrecking realities, and for a look at the history of establishment obfuscations, see below:
That Blue crossing the Red line is the Real “Climate Change”!!!
This marks the “crossing the Rubicon” turning point.
If you follow the peaks of the SMB graph it appears
that they will follow the melt season with a bottom
around 4 Gigatons!!!

It’s shocking and rather disturbing that the Australian BOM blatantly lie and obfuscate to back up the false narrative of their dark overlords. I sincerely hope there’s hell to pay for them down the line.
Signs of global cooling are becoming very clear, and it’s barely starting, I dunno for how long TPTB can hide this. Because in a few years it’s going to be overwhelming this new cold reality!
People here in Southeastern Marica, KY/TN/etc, are all experiencing and understanding why it is cooler…We call it GLOBAL COOLING!
For more answers call Eddy at the Solar Minimum Office at SOL POINT ONE – theSUN!
AMERICA…damn fingers!
I agree! Here in Western North Carolina, we are daily, anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees cooler than what is posted for what the day should be: like 83 vs reality 66.
BOM blatantly lie and obfuscate in the hope of being employed by the Biden administration.
Correction to Australia’s article. If these readings were made with the new electronic probes, then we must subtract 1.2F from all the readings to get an “accurate” picture of true conditions.
BOM is despicable!
Low Temperature Records Felled Across Australia 6/21/23 –
Australia’s east coast has been hit with a record-breaking cold wave.
Canberra’s low of -7.9C (17.8F) on Wednesday was its coldest June reading since 1986.
Inland NSW also busted a myriad of June temperature records this morning, including Bathurst, which shivered through -8.2C (17.2F); Scone, which logged -5.8C (21.6F); Hillston, with its -4.7C (23.5F); Peak Hill’s -3.5C (25.7F); and Paterson’s -1C (30.2F).
Note, Scone’s -5.8C was the town’s coldest temperature ever recorded, for any month — beating the August 1991 record.
Similarly in Richmond, located northwest of Sydney, an all-time low temperature record was set here, too. The -6.9C (19.6F) endured Wednesday morning bested the locale’s previous record, set during the July of 2002, by more than a full degree Celsius.
The mercury plummeted to -2.3C (27.9F) in Campbelltown, located in Sydney’s southwest, making for its coldest morning –for any month– in years. It also dropped to just 1.2C (34.2F) in Hobart, 3.5C (38.3F) in Melbourne and 7.2C (45F) in Brisbane.
The Richmond lows have now been deleted by the BoM without explanation.

Note that DMI are still using 1981-2010 as average. If they switched to 1991-2020 then the recent gains in SMB would be even more impressive, I guess that’s why they don’t switch.
“Wineries are making a desperate plea for more help from the federal and provincial governments after being slammed by extreme cold for a second winter in a row”.

Thanks for posting this article. I’m originally from B.C. and have worked in that area. This is why I started a geothermal greenhouse company and am encouraging more people to prepare for upcoming record cold. Here in Colorado. it’s the coolest I’ve ever seen. We’re running 10F below normal and have barely even seen any 80’s this year until last week. In years past we’ve been getting a lot of 90’s from May onward. Not this year.
