Record Cold Persists In Eastern Australia

Continuing the theme of the past few weeks, swaths of Eastern Australia are observing unusually chilly temperatures.

The Sunshine Coast in Queensland experienced an unseasonably low 1.6C (34.9F) on this week (registered at just 3 meters/9.8 feet), marking its coldest reading since 2007. QLD saw its coldest July night since 2019 — the -5.7C (21.7F) at Wellcamp.

Other significant lows include a preliminary reading of -10.1C (13.8F) at Thredbo Village in New South Wales, and the -8.6C (16.5F) at Mount Hotham in Victoria, a temp which rivals the record-tying low of -8.8C (16.2F) set just yesterday.

Arctic Sea Ice Extent: No Cause For Alarm

Recent data on Arctic sea ice extent since 2007 shows a stable pattern, indicating there is no cause for alarm.
