More often than not, the extreme changeabitity of the weather in summer only affects the southern coastline and the frontal systems don't penetrate inland north of the Great Dividing Range which runs in an east-west direction through Central Victoria. The exception to this happened in early February 2005 when a powerfull cold front penetrated at least 500klm north of Melbourne, delivering record breaking cold throughout south eastern AU. Here are the charts and figure of this day in 2005 A deep low pressure system embedded on a cold front over southern Victoria. Temperature anomalies 3rd Feb 2005 Lowest max temp records set. ( remember, this if early Feb, the hottest time of the year in S E AU ) Here are the figures fo Deniliquin ( 300klm north of Melbourne ) the summer of 2004-2005. Typical of the bi polar climate of Southern Australia !

This reminds me of a funny childhood assumption I had. The first Christmas I remember was 2006, which was very winter-like here with a max of 14.5C and snow in the alps. I assumed it was a normal thing given it was Christmas after all. I mean I knew it was summer, but I thought maybe Santa made the whole world cold for a day or something. It was only later that I realised Santa had nothing to do with it lol and instead was just Melbourne being Melbourne. The typical Aussie Xmas consists of having a BBQ by the beach or playing backyard cricket, so my first Christmas memory was indeed very atypical.

B-. Fairly comfortable and sunnier than my hometown, but still rather variable and dry.
