Discovered this beauty. It looks like a summer you'd find around Melbourne but it's at 981m asl, 36°S lol. Kinda annoyed that this exists but at the same time it's amazing. The climate itself is rather average but considering its position, it's really cool. It also displays the power of temperature inversions. For example, Lithgow is at a similar elevation. Hunters Hill Data Maxima are significantly cooler than Lithgow's, though. Not owing to just latitude, but also the windward position. RE minima, it's 100% due to the station starting in 1993; Cabramurra warmed about 1.5° C in minima from the old 1955–1999 station. So it'd be more like 0° C minima in Jul and 12° C in Jan for HH if it had a more complete record (like Lithgow's). Another incomplete record, but much older: Kunama (1946–1957) really shows how much minima have warmed in the region; due chiefly to less evaporative cooling (as a result of lighter rainfall as opposed to heavier showers during cold fronts), and thus lower snow cover.  |

Random drop by a degree in one minute on my PWS (23:01 - 23:02). First time I've seen this.  |

^^ that's odd. Maybe there are a couple of spiders bumming each other on the sensor  I think my PWS is stuffed. Outside temps/DP are completely wrong. Maybe it just needs a clean, hopefully. Like this morning, it was showing nonsense reading like 21/20C when it was cold af. The temp graph is all over the place, completely unrealistic pattern of temps happening. |

Planning to give mine a proper clean on the holidays. I gave it a wipe down a couple of weeks ago since I noticed a bunch of spiderwebs on it. Btw, after that drop, the temperature stayed down for the night. That's why it was weird, it didn't rise back up to 10.6C or anything like that and the overall low was similar to the airport one. |

It's been an absolute battle with spiders on mine, they get right in the temp sensor screen and cover it in cobwebs. I remove the cobwebs, next day, they're back. This time though, a full strip down is in order.
Wonder what the lifetime of these things are, mine's been up for 2.5 years and has been subjected to everything. Still, 2.5 years seems way too short for something that costs $300+

Random drop by a degree in one minute on my PWS (23:01 - 23:02). First time I've seen this. I don't think that's an error. I've walked into warm air masses over 3'C warmer before going from 3'C to 6'C in a second basically. |

31.7c yesterday at Eggedal. That place has six days above 30c by June 7th! Holy shit! That's incredible! Yeah, the valleys west of Oslo, from Drammen and further west, are amazing in summer. They have the warmest summer highs in Norway and maybe Scandinavia. In 2016, the same place had 112 days above 20c.
This May, 27 days above 20c, tied with Notodden. More than a months since last day not reaching high of 20c there. 18 of the last 20 days have recorded highs aobove 25c.

Average high since 5th May is 25.5C! That's insane! As well as 6 days above 30C, there's been another 3 over 29C, and the huge amounts of sunshine. We can only dream of spring weather like that in the UK. In fact, it will never ever happen. Ever. Lucky bastards! |

Are the Norway valley stations located on the valley floors or are they on the southfacing mountainsides? The southfacing mountainsides near Örnsköldsvik an hour south of Umeå have a bunch of southern tree species growing wild like Linden, Hazel, Elm and Ash because the ground is angled up toward the sun making it warmer.
It'd be very interesting to put up a weather station there. It's right on the coast giving mild winters and 1900+ hours of sunshine, and the sun angled ground makes for warm daytime highs. Maybe they could have 21/14 in July with -2/-6 Januaries at 63°N

It's on the valley floor, flat area, with farms. Eggedal is a small village. The valleys in the SE are mostly pretty wide.

According to this source: We call this pattern the Scandinavian High pattern. This pattern is about the only one that lasts this long across Europe. |

Öland in southeastern Sweden, the depicted island, had 18mm rain in March, 23mm in April and 0mm in May. In total 41.3mm of rain since March 1st, and a lot of that was with just fractions of millimeters during the whole day indicating that a lot of it might be dew. Since then they've also had 952h of sunshine until today, and a mean temperature of 7.8'C since March 1st and 11.1'C since April 1st. Here's May 2018 vs 2017   |

Amarillo, TX had no snowfall this winter. The only other time that happened was in 1949-1950.
Roswell, NM also had no snowfall this winter. The only other time that happened was 1956-1957.
Albuquerque, NM only recorded 0.4” (1 cm) this winter. This makes it their least snowy season on record.
Alamosa, CO had 9.1” (23 cm) of snow this winter, their lowest on record.
Telluride, CO also had their least snowy season ever with 56.5” (144 cm).
With only 3.4” (9 cm) of snow, Dodge City, KS had their 3rd least snowy season and the lowest since 1932-1933.
Im sure there’s other locations as well but that’s it for now.
On the other extreme, Flatwillow, MT recorded 110.5” (281 cm). Their previous snowiest season in 1949-1950 only had 82.2” (209 cm). Their records go back to 1913-1914 too so it’s not a tiny sample size. They absolutely smashed their record—very impressive!

Some nice snowfall for NSW coming up (credits to ashestoashes—member on the Weatherzone forums); pictured is the CT region, with the northern half of the Snowy Alps to the south:  |
