The bleak weather continues - just where has our summer gone?

The Daily Telegraph (Australia)


"It's a good thing December is almost over - it's been the coldest for more than 50 years. With two days to go, it seems certain Sydney will record its coldest December since 1960, with the average daily maximum so far this month 2.2C below the long-term average. Sydney's average top temperature so far this month was a chilly 23C - only 0.2C more than in 1960. That isn't going to change much over the next two days, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting showers and tops of just 24C. Not once has the temperature reached 30C in the city this month, the first time since 1999 the mercury has failed to reach that mark in December."

THE damage bill for the Christmas Day storms is expected to reach almost $700 million as repair claims continue to inundate insurers. (Herald Sun)
