Record Lows And Snow

[Coast]

Sorry, a little bit late with these!

'September 21st - Parts of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa were transformed into a "winter wonderland" after snow blanketed several areas of the province. Temperatures plummeted into the low teens, with residents of Kokstad and Giants Castle waking up to 0 DgC' www.int.iol.co.za

'September 22nd - Perth today shivered awake to its coldest September morning on record. The overnight temperature fell to a chilly 1 DgC just before 6am' www.news.com.au

'September 16th - A cold weather record set in 1925 went by the books on Monday, as temperatures in Hungary plummeted' www.caboodle.hu

A 2008 trend or just coincidence?

Perth I don't think has been having a warm Spring so far....but not too far off average. Somewhat in contrast to the east where 35C was breached in Brisbane in September (obscene!) and I think also in Sydney at some point.

Perth does tend towards cooler nights though due to the dryness of the climate.

I'm sure every year you could find somewhere that has a cold snap!
