Revised my dream inland climate! Made it more realistic, and more Tableland-like. Plainly A+ from me.
Crooked Corner is elevated by 867 m AMSL and lies at 34° 13' 43.36" S, located within South-Western NSW. Typical of the Southern Tablelands region, Crooked Corner is subject to high winds year-round, most squally within the cooler months; frequent, often severe thunderstorms in Summer; snowstorms in Winter. The annual mean temperature in Crooked Corner straddles 10.6° C; this figure comprises an annual maximum temperature of 17.8° C, and an annual minimum temperature of 3.4° C. Annually, there are 161.8 days of precipitation—with 92.2 days in the form of rainfall, and 69.6 days in the form of snowfall and sleet. Total precipitation scores a hefty 1,513.5 mm, which likewise provides excellent grazing conditions for the local farmers.
Summer is dry, hot, stormy and sunny. Contrarywise, Winter is damp, cold, snowy and overcast. Snowfall and frost may occur at any time of the year—even during the midst of Summer. The tremendous precipitation during Winter is brought about chiefly by the unrelenting South-Westerly polar fronts. Squalls are often in excess of >54 knots during Winter. Summer is markedly unstable, with potent heatwaves from Far Western NSW often prompting the mercury to soar upwards of 40° C; notwithstanding, summer maximums may plummet to as low as ~10° C (or less), whilst summer minimums may plummet well below 0° C.
The highest temperature on record was 45.6° C, held on 12th January, 1878; the lowest temperature on record was –23.2° C, held on 5th July, 1900; snow fell upwards of 8 ft deep on that very day, halting the Central West and Hume railway lines.
