Up to 35.9°C/97°F today in Muids, about 100 km NW of Paris. Unusual for Normandy to be the hottest! Now a cool change is bringing maritime air.

Dry season Floods threaten WA, NT This Week ( Source: weaterzone )  Unseasonably heavy rain and flooding could cut off roads in the Kimberley and central Australia this week. The satellite images below show a large northwest cloudband extending across Australia on Monday morning. This colossal cloudband, which is being fuelled by tropical moisture from the Indian Ocean, will produce widespread rain over a broad area of Australia this week..  The heaviest rain on Monday and Tuesday will fall over the Kimberley and Interior of WA, and over the Western Interior of the NT. The map below shows the predicted rain during these two days combined.  Flood Watches have already been issued in both states, with some road closures also announced in the Kimberley for the coming days. These include the Gibb River Road, which will close from Tuesday, and Fitzroy Crossing Bridge, which may close later in the week. On Wednesday, rain will continue over parts of central and northwestern Australia and spread into the nation’s southeast as well. Later in the week, a second round of heavy rain is expected to develop over the Kimberley and NT from Friday, before spreading towards the east and affecting Qld on the weekend and possibly into the start of next week.  This system will deliver widespread and prolonged rainfall to parts of Australia that typically see little of no rain at this time of year. This will cause out-of-season flooding and may catch some communities and travellers by surprise. Be sure to check the latest warnings and road closures before travelling across the Australian outback in the next couple of weeks. |

Inari Nellim (68.5N) in Eastern Lapland was the warmest place in Finland yesterday with a 28.2C high. Kilpisjärvi village (69.0N) in Western Lapland was the coldest after Saana fell, with a high of 12.8C.
15C difference in temps 300 km east-west in Lapland is quite rare.

Some extreme cold and wet conditions forecast in Central Australia the next few days. Arltunga is located 110km east of Alice Springs in the East MacDonnell Ranges, the historic town of Arltunga was officially Central Australia's first town and once supported up to 3,000 people. Arltunga was born out of a gold rush in 1887, when alluvial gold was discovered in a dry creek bed. Fortune seekers had to travel 600km from the Oodnadatta railhead, often on foot, to seek their fortune in a harsh environment. At the time, Alice Springs consisted of just the Overland Telegraph Station, and was little more than an outpost that had expanded as it became the supply base of Arltunga. Mining activity continued in the area for 30 years. northernterritory.com/alice-springs-and-surrounds/see-and-do/arltunga-historical-reserveAt 675m asl, the old ghost town has a forecast of 0c/8c on Saturday. Outstanding at just below the Tropic of Capricorn !   Here's some stats for the place....     www.weatherzone.com.au/news/waterfalls-on-uluru-after-outback-soaking-more-rain-to-come/1353948 |

Nice cold in Ushuaia, the bay froze next to the coast and looks sexy. Today the Airport recorded extremes of -4.8C/-1.0C. The more inland city AWS was colder, -7.2C/-4.2C.

Wildfire smoke from Canada is hitting Milwaukee today. Here are a few pictures from the local subreddit.  Air quality is in the Very Unhealthy range. This WAQI site gives higher numbers than the US site Airnow.gov, but both are "very unhealthy". It smells like smoke and people are complaining it's hard to breathe, or their eyes burn, or other things. I feel a bit off but it could just be from the past weekend where I didn't sleep enough. I also closed my windows and turned on air conditioning for the first time this summer.

Record Cold June Temperatures Chill SA Outback ( source: Weatherzone )  Parts of the SA outback shivered through their coldest June day on record yesterday as a thick northwest cloudband brought heavy rain and chilly temperatures across the state. While winter is northwest cloudband season in Australia, this week’s cloudband has been thicker, larger and more laden with moisture than usual. After delivering seven times the June monthly average rain over parts of WA’s Kimberley region earlier this week, the cloudland engulfed SA on Tuesday, shielding the state from the fleeting warmth of the winter sun.   Video: True-colour satellite images showing thick cloud covering SA on Tuesday, June 27, 2023. Temperatures barely budged in some parts of SA on Tuesday, with many inland areas experiencing a near-isothermic day. In Port Augusta, the temperature hovered around 9 to 10ºC all day and night, only getting as high as 10.4ºC during the 24 hours to 9am on Wednesday. This was Port Augusta’s coldest June day on record, with data from several weather stations collectively dating back to 1957. Marree also spent Tuesday hovering around 8 to 11ºC amid steady rainfall. Despite only reaching 11.1ºC on Tuesday, the official maximum temperature during the 24 hours to 9am on Wednesday was 11.9ºC, which occurred on Wednesday morning. This was Marree’s lowest June daily maximum temperature since 1956, and its coldest day for any month since 1998.  The average maximum temperature at Port Augusta and Marree in June is around 18 to 19ºC, so Tuesday was around 8ºC cooler than average for this time of year. In addition to chilly daytime temperatures, yesterday’s thick cloudband also delivered rain to the north and east of SA.  The heaviest rain occurred south of Marree and north of Yongala, where 10-20 mm fell during the 24 hours to 9am on Friday. Andamooka’s 16mm was its wettest June day since 2013, while Leigh Creek’s 18mm was it wettest June day in seven years. |

Thick high altitude veil from the Canada fires here as well. Btw this past month had the highest positive deviation from normal in terms of standard devs on highs in Paree. Unexpected.  |

Historically, How Cold Was Sydney On Wednesday? ( source: Weatherzone )  The harbour city's maximum of 11.7°C was by far its lowest of the year It was a full five degrees below the June average max of 17.0°C It was colder than Melbourne's max of 12.7°C, and bear in mind that Melbourne's top temp was more than a degree below its own June average It's also worth mentioning that Penrith in Sydney's far outer west reached just 10.9°C yesterday, which was only the 2nd time it has had a day this cold since the site opened in 1995. As Sydney people would know, it's pretty rare for the temperature not to climb into at least the mid teens, even on days with winter's chilliest winds blowing straight off the snow country.  So how often is Sydney this cold? Let's take 12.0°C or lower as our threshold... We love a stats challenge here at Weatherzone, so we ran a quick query and learned that: Sydney's temp peaks at 12°C or colder just 5.4 times a decade on average (in the years from 1910 to 2020). In other words, it only happens once every two years or so, over more than 100 years of data sampling. So not often! The good news for Sydney is that Wintry Wednesday won't be repeated on Thursday or any day on the immediate horizon – although we can't state that as confidently for other places which endured cold maximum temps yesterday. The image below reveals why.  As we told you in our story yesterday, Wednesday's cold was caused by thick cloud preventing the sun from warming things up. That cloud has now cleared the Sydney area, with sunny conditions set to prevail across most of eastern NSW in coming days. But as you can see on the Thursday morning sat pic above, the massive northwest cloudband has not yet dissipated. That means that areas in northern NSW, central and southern Qld, plus even parts of the NT and WA, could all experience below average temps this Thursday. |

Warming now up after that unseasonably cool rainy day on Wednesday in Sydney -- Odd, I thought NW cloudbands warm things up or mitigate the temps as they originate from the tropics. Last time we had a high below 12C was in June 2021 due to a cut-off low (which was understandable because they arrive from the Southern Ocean). As I've noticed before, I still don't know why the mid north coast has cooler nights than we do?  |

Thursday high 27.2c, low 13.3, 0 mm of rain. Yesterday there was thunder in many places, but not at my nearest weather station. Evening at 19:40:  There has been a total of 25 mm of precipitation here in June so far. It is more than in May, but it is still little. Farmers are in trouble, drought is a concern. |

Finland won the race for the first tropical night in the Nordics. Bogskär, with their impressively massive diurnal ranges took first place by a hair last night. Sweden has been stuck at 19.4'C for the last two days. |

Antarctic ice historically low for this time of the year.
Not a fan of using sigmas/normal distribution for likelihood of occurrence of extreme events, though. It clearly makes no sense in cases like this.
