Weird winter weather

After a 0.7C minimum on Saturday morning we had an 18.1C minimum which is a summer type minimum overnight. This is Albany too. The bottom end of Western Australia.

Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S. Warm temperate. Csb Koeppen Climate classification. Cool nights all year round.

Wow! I've been in Albany in January and not had 18 as a max!

Yeah tell me about it. 18.1C min and then 19.3C max in July. I bet it's a record yet on the news they said we went down to 13C. Don't know what they were measuring then because it was almost a hot night. I've never recorded a 20C min even in summer here.

Hi Tyrone, we must be getting your weather! 18C at present at 9.21pm, extremely unusual for mid winter! About 25 years ago we had a 20C  night low in July once, so it's not totally unheard of, although we usually get 20C maybe once as a daytime high in July, and occaisonally days that don't even get to 10C. This 18C is the warmest temperature for July so far, and it's night time! Weird, but I'm not complaining.

Probably the 9.00am reset ( that is max and min temps are recorded over a 24 hour period at 9.00am. ) So possibly the temp dropped to the 13c value well after the sun came up.       http://www.weatherzone.com.au/station.jsp?lt=site&lc=9500&list=ds

My weather station records every 5 minutes and on that day we never even got anywhere close to 13C. I've seen some pretty dodgy temps recorded on the official site. Maybe they saw 18C recorded on the equipment and said, "that must be a malfunction, just put down 13C which sounds more believable." There's no accurate official readings down here. Sometimes weatherzone will go to north Walpole or Rocky Gully for figures when the official site is off air which is often. North Walpole is about 160kms west and doesn't bare any resemblance to the weather here at all and Rocky Gully is about 70kms inland and about 130 kms west.

Try using this BOM stats site, max and min temps, rainfall etc.

http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/

Albany I see has 2 official recording sites, one in town and the other at the airport. There would be quite a difference in night temps between those two sites...

Yes and neither apply to my location. The town one is almost at sea level and about 50m from the harbour, so it will always be warmer at night and cooler by day and some of that sites stats are dubious to say the least (one year they said the minimum temp for the entire year was 5.2C which is just ridiculous. I think that was the minimum 9am temp for the year not the absolute minimum) and the airport though only 6km from me is at 70m asl on a flat exposed plane where even on the stillest night the wind is blowing and that definitely effects the temps. My area is 13m asl in a valley.

Here are my July figures taken from my weather station. I've been taking and graphing the temps since June 2014 here because no official sites agree with my readings.

1. 10C 19.7C

2. 18.1C 19.3C

3. 14.6C 15.9C

4. 9.5C 16.6C

5. 7C 13.8C

6. 9.6C 18.3C

7. 5.6C 17C

8. 2.6C 18.3C

9. 1.2C 20.2C

10. 0.3C 20.5C

11. 1.7C 21.3C

12. 0C 22.8C

13. 9.6C 18.2C

14. 6.7C 18.3C

avg 6.9C 18.6C

The July graph looks wild at the moment.

Yes you being in a valley at low altitude would definitely be colder on winter nights for sure. The official site for Sydney for example, is at Observatory Hill right on the Harbour, probably the coolest site in the whole Sydney basin for max temps and warmest for min temps. The data recorded there is completely different to the western and southern inland suburbs.
