Townsville Weather. ( an Nth Qld )

[AC/DC]

For those who dont live in north queensland, , this is about the coldest I can ever recall it being during the days.

I have been here for 35 years, and it has never been this cold.

ITs currently 15.5 degrees in the back yard, and about 19 degrees inside the house.

Here is a link from the net with 4.30pm temperatures....

Current Temperatures Adelaide: 12.8°C
Alice Springs: 12.0°C
Brisbane Ap: 16.5°C
Cairns: 20.4°C
Canberra: 7.6°C
Darwin: 26.2°C
Hobart: 4.9°C
Melbourne: 10.3°C
Newcastle: 12.2°C
Perth: 17.5°C
Sydney: 13.7°C
Townsville: 13.8°C
Wollongong: 10.1°C

Are we crazy in Townsville to say that maybe we actually could benefit from a heater, or electric blanket ? ?

Looking forward to the weekend when the sun is expected to shine.

Nice and warm ... Tuesday was cold.
Was in the workshop upgrading my cam in the ute ... and the thermometer they had sitting on the bench was reading 7.2 deg C .... and that's in Sydney at 1pm in the afternoon ... it was a cold day for Sydney.

Tassie gets cold.

I am dreading the frosts though ... last year we were getting -5 deg C at about 5am (not fun when getting up at 4:30am to get ready for work and having to go out and feed the horses). And this is only about 60km NW of Sydney city.

Well today is the winter solstice ….

[Outbackjack]

I heard that Darwin has had its coldest day on record today.... It got to 20deg.

I has certainly been rather cold in the Alice the last couple of weeks.

[AC/DC]

Sydney and tassie are supposed to get cold...

We are talking 1600km NORTH of brisbane, where its supposed to be HOT

[Mechan1k]

Yeah ... but Sydney isn't meant to get to 7 deg in the middle of the day ... it's been colder than usual here as well.

[my gt]

i have a house in the hinter land of cairns its cold there as well

[troppo]

Darwin almost had the coldest day on record. It came in equal second as the coldest day on record but took the title for coldest day in June on record.

[jason_85]

This is the first time in 3 yrs i havent used my air con to sleep at night!

[Dazza XLT]

Got to 13 degrees in our shed.
As low as 9 degrees south of Proserpine.
Dry Season... What Dry Season??? :P
80+ mm so far this month. Up to 150mm+ in some areas.
Tomato farmers are starting to crack, as they can't get the picking machines into the paddocks... Powdery Mildew is going OFF!

Cheers

Middle of brisbane got to a huge max temp of 13 degrees yesterday. Its weird, I work in a cold room, and it felt no warmer outside, due to the wind. I was actually glad to be inside working all day.

[Mechan1k]

I have gotten off a plane at Proserpine airport on a cold windy day ... and boy when it's windy there ... it's blowing a gale.

Hey AC/DC where do you get the little circle degree sign on the keyboard?

It warmed up to 7 this morning on Mount Tamborine after a chilly 5 two days ago when the max climbed to 10.

The temperature range at Wentworth Falls where my sister lives went from 4 - 5 last Tuesday.

[GTS_300_Coupe]

Pffft! Today wasnt even that cold, went to work without no extra clothes.

Are all you guys from townsville also??

The little circle was copied from the net, , sorry !

[dave351cid]

here at Miriam Vale (near Gladstone ) we ranged from 8C TO 13C today giving us the lowest June maximum on record by 3.1C . the minimum wasnt a record but the day just didnt warm up.

i moved from down south to get away from this weather.

atleast its raining a bit now, so far we have only had half our average rainfall for the first half of the year. 382mm instead of the 725mm average.

i got this info off the" www.weatherzone.com.au " site.

Good to see its warming up. I rode my motorbike from cairns to townsville at 4am on wed morning and it was very wet and very cold. Least the trip home might be a little less wet.

Out here at mt isa its been raining and cold as well.

[XAGSV8]

Rockhampton matched its coldest day 2 days ago with a maximum of 12.1 degrees.

While not quite as cold as Thursday, I absolutely froze playing footy at the cricket grounds by the Fitzroy River yesterday, wet, muddy and bloody miserable.

[GasoLane]

It got to -5 here the other night, but then we are only 2hrs from the snowfields :-)


And a question for all those in FNQ what is the weather like in Cairns, on average, around Feb/March. I'm thinking of holidaying near Cairns next year.

[S3SR]
