A couple of places named Mitchell, one in the Northern Hemisphere, one in the Southern Hemisphere. The same names, but very different climatically; should get the juices flowing equally for polar foamers and heat wankers...
The similarities ( other than the name ) is that both places are located in the middle of Woop Woop, beyond the black stump. ( an AU term for 'remote' )
Oh, and a coupla pics of Mitchell B25 WW2 era Bombers, several squadrons were based in and around Darwin and carried out raids into Jap occupied South East Asia

MITCHELL, SD:
Climate
Mitchell has a humid continental climate, the Upper Midwest, with cold winters and warm sometimes humid summers. Average daytime summer temperatures range from 86 °F (30 °C) during the day, and 62 °F (16 °C) during the night, and winter daytime temperatures average 26 °F (-3 °C) during the day, and 4 °F ( -15 °C) during the night. Most of the precipitation falls during the summer months, the wettest month being June, with an average of 3.52 inches (89.4 mm) of rain, and the driest month is January, with only 0.47 inches (11.9 mm) of rain. Mitchell is located in Tornado Alley, so thunderstorms, often spawning tornadoes, can be expected.
MITCHELL, QLD
Climate
Mitchell has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and cold winters by Queensland standards. On 15 August 1979 Mitchell recorded a minimum temperature of −9.4 °C (15.1 °F), which is the third coldest temperature ever recorded in the state.[51] Mitchell has the largest overall temperature range recorded in Australia (56.2°C, -9.4°C to 46.8°C).[52] The town gets an average of 157.5 clear days annually
