Snow in Australia - 21 Jun 07 - Snow fell across large areas of the Blue Mountains
west of Sydney, and more rain fell in the city itself, which is already recording its wettest
June on record. Heavy snow also fell around Oberon and Bathurst in central-western NSW.
Winter also arrived in South Island, New Zealand. Snow is causing major disruption in
central Otago, with the airport closed and a number of car crashes blamed on icy roads.
The snow is expected to worsen on Thursday night

Re: Snow in Australia
I've heard some places in Australia have recently had record lows. Can anyone verify that?

The maximum temperature on June 19 at each of Cobar (6.6°C) and Ivanhoe (8.2°C) were the lowest on record for June. At Cobar that is the lowest in over a hundred years. Records at Ivanhoe go back to 1959.
as of June 20 Sydney has recorded 466mm so far this month, making it the wettest June since 1950.

Worst floods in almost 40 years hit Victoria, Australia - 30 Jun 07 - Stormy weather
has brought widespread flooding across drought-parched southeast Australia. The storm is
the fourth to hit the eastern coast of Australia this month and has caused the worst flooding

Indeed, the Bureau of Meteorology has reported June 2007 to be the wettest on record
across the Australian "tropics".
