Big Freeze Begins Buffeting Australia: Tasmania transformed into a “Winter Wonderland,” Snow in Victoria, Perth Records Coldest August Day since 1968, and a “Code Blue” Issued in SA
Temperatures have started plummeting ACROSS Australia, with multiple cold fronts already delivering heavy snow down to exceptionally low-levels. And the BOM is promising much more where that came from…
As reported by TND, snow has fallen in central Victoria and on the fringes of Hobart as a wintry blast continues to shift across Australia’s south-east, flurries down to as low as 100m (328ft) have been registered.
In central Victoria, Ballarat and Buninyong woke to snow on Tuesday morning, with more forecast for eastern Melbourne later in the day. There were also reports of snow on the Great Ocean Road in southern Victoria.
Diana Eadie, from the Bureau of Meteorology’s extreme weather desk, said “we could see snow levels drop to unusually low levels for large parts of the south east” as the week progresses.
Parts of Tasmania have been transformed into a “Winter Wonderland”, as tweeted by SNOWSEARCH australia, with powder burying Mt Field National Park:
And looking forward, all this anomalous cold is only forecast to intensify-further as the week progresses, according to the BOM. Mid-week will see temperatures “in the single digits for large parts of Tasmania, and even southern parts of Victoria just clipping up into the low teens,” said Eadie.
“That’ll be compounded by that windchill as well, with an increase in the southerly winds associated with that low.”
Overnight minimums are also expected to be “exceptionally cold,” Eadie concluded.
Then into the weekend, temp-departures are forecast to sink as much as 14C below the seasonal average across large parts of southern/eastern Australia:
Some have already had a taste of the historic cold to come.
On Monday, Perth recorded its coldest August day since 1968 — the city’s daily high reached just 11.6C (53F), according to the BOM’s climate database:
And finally, as reported by miragenews.com, regional South Australia has issued a “Code Blue” extreme winter weather response for people sleeping rough.
“Predicted cold weather in the regions is expected to reach below five degrees for five nights or more and that’s why we, together with our homelessness partners, will be activating a Code Blue this week,” said local Minister Lensink.
From Tuesday night, Housing SA will makes additional accommodation available for extended hours.
The COLD TIMES are likely returning in line with historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow. Even NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with their forecast for this upcoming solar cycle (25) seeing it as “the weakest of the past 200 years,” with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.
Don’t fall for bogus, political agendas.
Prepare for the COLD — learn the facts, relocate if need be, and grow your own.
