Southern Hemisphere Winter 2012

[greybing]

I was just wondering how the winter in the southern hemisphere is panning out so far .Does anyone know how cold/mild/wet/dry it has been so far ?

Australia in June was -0.5 degrees cooler than the 1961-90 average.

Much of the coolness was down to much colder than average nights in tropical and inland Australia.

It was 4% wetter than average, so close to normal.

July is following a similar pattern, although it has become milder and drier in the south. High pressure domination.

There has been no major cold event originating from the Southern Ocean, with prolonged highand snowfall. The absence of snow in Tasmania this season is noticable.
