A day of interesting potential storms turned into a day stuck under sloppy, stratified, dissipating cumulo-cucktus-extinctus crapvection horseshit with drizzle and cold winds. As per fuck.

I had no idea that the ground gets THAT cold here...lmao wtf...and how do plants survive it? Or maybe these readings are wrong (they're from BOM mind you)...  |

Those ground temps don't seem like anything special. Cold air sinks and pools near the ground and in low spots overnight during radiational cooling setups. That's why you can get ground frost with minimum temps well above freezing. |

At first glance it seems hard to believe.... but there are examples elsewhere in AU of grass temps being substantially lower than the temps recorded in a Stevenson Screen The screen temp that morning in 1970 was -4.2c  |

Especially in locations with shallow low spots where cold air can pool, I've seen ground frost occur with 39-41°F temps at 6 ft AGL in clear nights with calm winds before elsewhere (not so much here). |

Cannot wait for average or below temps again, sleeping so badly lately and waking up feeling like a hangover!

That's the min temps at the Liverpool ( Whitlam Centre ) site that you posted re the -12.1c grass temps... on that morning the screen temp was -4.2c as highlighted. |

Big thunderstorm on way! Should be overhead in an hour. If it dies I'll be 😭
Lightning within 25 miles. Gonna stay up late for this! Such excitement! I may even hear thunder tonight.
Edit : so that's passed over now, the thunder was better than expected. Very loud!

Must be a combination of hot enough for frequent heat waves, cool enough for no widespread AC, and dense housing stock designed to trap heat rozenn |

What an interesting month... going on for record dry, and now from just two days with measurable rain, we've almost reached the June average already!

For a few days I've been noticing that the mid north coast of NSW is getting pretty cool nights, which seems strange for the latitude AND the coastal location (and also compared to the Sydney region below it):  Is this normal? |
