made this for Hartford, average temperature in 1 day, 2 days, etc. Orange is mean, blue is daily max, green daily min. might do a few other cities I have downloaded data of. hope any missing data doesn't mess up the results What do the graphs mean? I don't get what you are trying to show. What does it mean when the graph is 5 at day 1 and 8 at day 8? What does it mean if the orange is closer to the blue or closer to the green? |

I don't get what you are trying to show. What does it mean when the graph is 5 at day 1 and 8 at day 8? What does it mean if the orange is closer to the blue or closer to the green? meant to give a description: x-axis on each graph is number of days. y-axis is average temperature change in °F. So mean difference in temperature in 1 day, 5 days. Obviously taking the absolute value or it'd average to close to zero. I would have assumed orange (daily mean) would be about halfway between green (daily min) and blue (daily max) but there's no reason why it should be. Could have an average of 0 one day variation for daily mean if on average when daily max goes up, daily min goes down by the same. Calculated by subtracting the difference daily mean from 1 (or 2, or 5, etc) days and then taking the absolute value and averaging. |

Big temperature differences for such small distances today. This morning in Kutjevo it was 20°C, and 20 kilometers away in Orahovica it was 3°C. |

Soaker for me tomorrow. Some regions will go for 50 mm to 100 mm of rain accumulation. T-storms on the coast.

Which Aussie city had the hottest Christmas Day? { source: Weatherzone }  Christmas Day weather can be a bit of a mixed bag in Australia, fluctuating from extreme heat to winter-like days or heavy rain to blue skies. The contrasting weather over the years has had Australians either reaching for a jacket or the air con switch or sometimes ducking for cover as a storm rolls in. We have crunched the numbers to find out how hot, cold and wet each Australian capital city has been on Christmas Day in the past. The hottest Christmas day recorded across the capital cities in Australia was Perth, recording 42.8°C in 2021. Adelaide came a close second, recording 42.1C back in 1888. The image below shows the hottest maximum temperatures on Christmas Day recorded for each Australian capital city.  While Christmas occurs in the Australian summer and it’s usually a warm time of year, cool temperatures and even snow have impacted the country’s southern states over the years. The coolest Christmas day recorded across the Australian capital cities was 12.6°C in Hobart in 1911. The image below shows the lowest daytime temperatures recorded in each capital city on Christmas day.  As it turns out, Christmas is always warm in Darwin, with the maximum temperature failing to fall below 24.6°C on Christmas Day since records began. The wettest Christmas days have occurred in the northernmost cities of Brisbane and Darwin. The image below shows the highest rainfall that fell in each capital city in the 24 hours leading up to 9am on Boxing Day.  Whatever the weather is for you today, we hope you have a great day and a happy new year. notes//- they've stuffed up the Darwin Xmas day rainfall totals... a little thing called Cyclone Tracy on Chrissy Day 1974  |

Yeah... junior trainee has done one of 2 things re the article !/- neglected to remember that AU rainfall is measured in the 24 hours 9.00am-9.00am. So Cyclone Tracy commenced Xmas Eve ( 24th ) and was mostly over by 9.00am Xmas Day. When the rain gauge was emptied at 9.00am Xmas morning, the 277mm total from the previous day, overnight and early morning goes in the record books as Xmas day rainfall. 2/- Has decided that the rain actually falling on the calendar day ( 25th ) is the 'real' Xmas Day rain.... hence the figure of 67.3mm in the article. Mind you, rain falling after 9.00am Xmas Day in reality is marked in the records as 26th ( Boxing Day rain ). Confused ?? LOL.... most are ( the ones who dont know of the 9.00am thing.... |

Such pathetic, cloudy, damp Nov & Dec...El Nino my ass! 🙄🤦♂️ I thought El Nino is supposed to give dry, sunny weather? 😂 I expected a 2019-2020 summer but instead we're getting a "La Nina lite" 2021-22-esque summer. I doubt January and Feb will be different. This is how the sky has looked like for the most part in the past month or so...  |

Follow up on the epic fail at SMHI:s Karesuando station during the height of the cold snap google translate: Some of SMHI's automatic measuring stations stopped transmitting data at minus 43 degrees in the last cold snap. The error meant with great certainty that Karesuando missed the lowest measured temperature of the season.It was during the extreme cold that the Swedish Transport Administration's station in Karesuando showed 45.4 minus degrees. The official reading in the village was 43.6 degrees.The explanation is that an error has been detected at some of SMHI's stations, including the one in Karesuando.- Unfortunately, it has stopped transmitting data at approximately 42-43 minus degrees. We changed data logs some time ago and then there was a problem, says Sverker Hellström, meteorologist at SMHI.Not official listingThe institute must now have a discussion with the supplier so that the problem is not repeated.SMHI believes that the Swedish Transport Administration's notes may well have been correct. They have also had an internal discussion in case they should use it as an official listing.- But we ended up with the fact that in that case we always have to have a firecracker. It was better to bite the sour apple, says Hellström.According to him, however, there is no indication that the temperature would have been close to the record for Karesuando of 49.0 from January 1999.www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/norrbotten/smhis-stationer-slutade-mata-vid-minus-43-karesuando-missade-koldrekordVery annoying. -45C is quite rare, even more so in the current climate (only during 11 winters since 1950/1951 has at least one station in Sweden gone below that value). Maybe it did this year as well. But now we'll never know for certain. Absolute idiots. |

Starting to feel wintry here after a near month long period of weather that's more appropriate for Nov/Mar. Feels good to breathe some fresh winter air and to see icicles outside, and it seems we might go down to -10 C, which I haven't had in a while. However, a big warm up is expected next week, and any chance of wintry weather will be obliterated once again..... FUK
