Summer 24

I do remember UEA CRU's Dr David Viner ...

Antarctic air mass to deliver weekend snow, hail and thunder to Tasmania, Victoria and NSW

Summer may be on the horizon, but this weekend people in south-east Australia are best advised to retreat by a wintry fire.

The sudden cold snap is due to the arrival of a powerful front from the south, which will introduce a polar air mass from the Antarctic ice sheet.

The coldest air will drift over Tasmania and southern Victoria today, sending temperatures as much as 10 degrees below average.

Hot and wet. Not good weather for spud harvest.

Other crops, edible beans, canola, wheat are enjoying the warmth.

The wet part will soon halt those harvests as well.
