21st July
This week has been all about the frost and cold mornings for the inland. No where colder than Charlotte Pass in the NSW Snowy Mountains on Tuesday morning. When the reading of -20C came up in our morning observations, Tom Saunders, our on-shift meteorologist, was at first a bit sceptical. Facts have to be carefully checked before we can go to air with an extreme temperature like this. A comprehensive check of other corresponding data and a confirmation call to a fellow meteorologist at the BOM allowed Tom to announce this was the coldest morning the entire nation had seen for over 16 years and a new July record!
As the week rolls on there are some interesting signs pointing to the development of a rain event for inland QLD and NSW. Meteorologists and presenters are watching this development closely as the predictive models seem to have differing opinions on where and how much rain will fall. It’s something that we are all watching keenly we will have the latest, most up-to-date forecasts for you as developments unfold.
