A soaking and shivering Alice Springs has just experienced its equal coldest day on record with the outback town recording a maximum of only 7 degrees this morning! This is a massive 13 degrees below the July maximum average temperature! Yesterday afternoon, the temperature only reached 6.3 degrees, and with winds of around 30kmh it would have felt more like 2 degrees- or the top of Thredbo! In just the first week of July, Alice Springs has already received almost 5 times the July monthly average rainfall with 68.4mm.
It has been an incredible year of weather so far. Average rainfall from January to July in Alice Springs is 174.7mm, yet the town has been soaked by a massive 470.2mm this year already! Minimum temperatures have also been extreme with a low of -2.7 degrees recorded in June.
