Are there any other gooses who think Albury ( or Albany ) are 'subtropical' ?? ( give me strength ! )
Summer means:
Albany summer months means = 15.0c/22.5c
Albury summer months means = 15.7c/31.0c
Winter means:
Albany winter months means = 9.2c/16.3c
Albury winter months means = 3.5c/14.5c

The NSW one is definitely subtropical, hot summers and mild to cool winters. The WA one, yeah not so much. Warm oceanic.
greysrigging I know you look at jacarandas as an indicator of subtropicality. Both of these places would grow them just fine. |

Jacarandas are an indicator species that a particular climate doesn't experience polar outbreaks. Lowland southern Au ( like Albury at 165m asl ) don't really see extremely low winter temps, but they do get a lot of frosty winter mornings. So, although I went to school in Albury for 5 years, I cant categorically say if Jacarandas grow commonly in the city; ie I don't specifically remember them per se. Where I lived in Northern Victoria at a Govt run Agricultural College ( 100 miles west of Albury and slightly warmer and less frosty ) we had half a dozen trees that are still alive and thriving and put on a great display every Xmas I think there might be one or 2 trees in the Albury Botanical Gardens, but certainly not common or used as a street tree... So in the AU context:    And sure as shit, no one in AU would ever consider Albury ( hell man, you can see the snow capped Alps in the distance from Albury ) 'subtropical'!! |

You can see snow-capped mountains right in the background of Los Angeles and nobody would not call LA subtropical |

Yeah I'm in agreement here. Inland NSW towns are too chilly to be subtropical. Albury's minimums are probably cooler (on average) than London's or Paris's winter minimums. They seem to have long streaks of minuses there....yikes Even the highs are cold. Towards the eastern seaboard, particularly the north coast, you'll get 0C mins, but the days generally heat up to 19-21C. So they can pass as subtropical. |
