Melbourne's Crazy Weather

I thought I was the only one feeling the chill last night. I had to wear socks to keep my feet warm! Luckily I got it from SIA during my trip to Korea, I lost the ones I got a few years ago from SIA. It turns out that the temperature was way below average for the month of October!

Victoria has awoken to a chilly start this morning, with temperatures falling to as low as minus 6 degrees in the alpine regions.

While Melbourne recorded a minimum of 6.6 degrees overnight, other areas failed to nudge zero.

The town of Dartmoor, near the South Australian border, recorded its coldest October temperature in two years, reaching just minus 4 degrees, while notoriously chilly Ballarat only reached minus 2 degrees.

Weatherzone meteorologist Jessica Trevena said Victoria's alpine areas were six to seven degrees below average overnight, with Mt Buller reaching minus 4.

Coldstream, in Melbourne's north-east, was still only 1.5 degrees about 6am, and in Melbourne's north, temperatures at Tullamarine were 1.5 degrees about 6.30am.

Just as we are nearing to Summer, it suddenly just drops like how the share market is today. What it normally means is it's a warning sign for us that hot days in waiting for us ahead in the Summer!

Meanwhile....
Temperatures are set to warm up towards the weekend, with a forecast of 25 degrees for Melbourne tomorrow, increasing to 30 degrees on Saturday.
For those who doesn't have A/C at home, tough luck people! It's going to be another HOT HOT Summer ahead! Need to be careful of the UV rays as well!
It seems that we are unlikely to be doing outdoor BBQ in the summer now. Total fire ban all over the place. Maybe we need to organise cold drinks gathering ;)

Deaths by heatwave are pretty common in the pre-50s era here in Melbourne. It's not something very common these days in Australia. Sources can be found here.

In 2003, the death by heatwave in Paris was huge! Refer below:
PARIS (AP) — The death toll in France from August's blistering heat wave has reached nearly 15,000, according to a government-commissioned report released Thursday, surpassing a prior tally by more than 3,000. More.
However, if the temperature do get unbearable, do let us know! Maybe we can open our house for everyone to enjoy the A/C or we could go to the beach together to enjoy the cool water! Let's all have an enjoyable summer! Chinese New Year celebration will be on 24th Jan 2009 in Box Hill, with this year is going to be bigger than ever! Let's come to Box Hill!
THE Chinese New Year celebrations are coming back to Box Hill and organisers hope it will be “bigger and better than ever”. A funding row scuppered the event this year, but the dragon is set to roar through Box Hill again on January 24 for celebrations expected to attract more than 60,000 people.
