ALICE SPRINGS, AUSTRALIA SUFFERS LONGEST STREAK OF SUB-ZERO DAYS ON RECORD
The ‘climate brigade’ have gone quiet re. Australia in recent weeks, focusing instead on a slither of summer heat gripping Western Europe and a perfectly ordinary ‘heat dome’ building in the Central U.S. — and that’s because it’s bloody freezing Down Under, unprecedentedly cold, in fact.
The middle of Australia is renowned for its scorching hot summers and year-round blue skies, not for its cold winters.
However, this year the region has been buffeted by rare Antarctic blasts and, as a result, is suffering its coldest spell ever.
The Northern Territory locale of Alice Springs has seen its thermometers sink below 0C (32F) for twelve consecutive mornings now, which, according to the Bureau of Meteorology –in books dating back 81 years– surpasses the previous longest streak of below-zero days set in July 1976 (solar minimum of cycle 19).
The frosty nights aren’t set to abate just yet. either.
