As the bitter cold snap continues across central and eastern parts of the country, the Bureau of Meteorology reveals which places have had the most extreme temperatures during this event, and which towns lay claim as Australia's coldest in general.
If you're in eastern Australia, it's been pretty hard to avoid small talk about the cold this past week.
With that lens on, it was Cooma, a little further east, which was the coldest place in Australia, dropping to –8.9C on Thursday at its airport.It's worth noting, while Queensland was never going to get a look in when it came to the overall coldest temperatures, it did have the most extreme temperatures compared to what's normal.
But, while we've got the history books open, which town lays claim to being Australia's coldest in general? Baring in mind there are a lot of places in Australia which either don't have observations, or haven't had weather station data for as long as others.When it comes to the coldest minimum temperature ever recorded in Australia, that title goes to Charlotte Pass.Of course, extremes like that only come around once in a blue moon, so if we're talking about a place that's consistently the coldest, it's better to look at the average minimum temperatures.
But since that's where the majority of the population is, we've also crunched the numbers on Australia's coldest city.During July, it has both the coldest day and night time temperatures.When it comes to the coldest maximum temperature across the year, however, Hobart wins that round.
