Climate battle between a cold Wisconsin town and the coldest town in Queensland
Similar names, two very different climates
APPLETON, WI
Appleton is a city in Outagamie, Calumet, and Winnebago counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. One of the Fox Cities, it is situated on the Fox River, 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Green Bay and 100 miles (160 km) north of Milwaukee. Appleton is the county seat of Outagamie County. As of the 2020 Census it had a population of 75,644, making it the sixth largest city in Wisconsin. Appleton is a part of the Fox Cities metropolitan area, the third largest in the state behind Milwaukee and Madison
Climate
Appleton has a humid continental climate typical of Wisconsin. Summers are warm to hot and winters are rather cold in comparison. Precipitation is relatively moderate compared to other areas close to the Great Lakes, which means lesser snowfall in winter than in many other cold areas.
A dew point of 90 °F (32 °C) was observed at Appleton at 5 p.m. on July 13, 1995. This is tied for the second highest dew point ever observed in the United States.
APPLETHORPE, QLD
Applethorpe is a rural town and locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2016 census the locality of Applethorpe had a population of 511 people.
Applethorpe is on Queensland's border with New South Wales. It is well known for the production of apples.
The town is positioned on the New England Highway just north of Stanthorpe in the Granite Belt region at an elevation of 872 meters (2,861 ft)
Climate
Applethorpe has a subtropical highland climate, with mild winters and warm wet summers with a high diurnal range due to its elevation. It sits at an altitude of 872 metres (2,860 ft) above sea level, meaning temperatures below freezing in winter are common. Applethorpe averages 47 mornings where the minimum temperature drops below 0 °C or 32 °F each year. The town receives light to moderate snowfalls during severe winters. This only occurs once every 20–30 years, although the town experiences occasional sleet. Summers are moderately warm to hot, with most days during the summer months reaching 23 °C (73.4 °F) or above, and not dropping below 15 °C (59 °F) overnight. The majority of precipitation occurs as thunderstorms, which can be severe. Applethorpe's highest recorded temperature was 39.7 °C (103.8 °F), which was recorded on 11 February 2017. Its coldest recorded temperature was −8.4°C (16.9 °F), which was recorded on 17 July 1970.
