Melbourne shivers through coldest April in 60 years
MELBOURNE has shivered through its coldest April morning in over 50 years, with temperatures dropping below freezing in some suburbs.
Melbourne recorded a low of 2.9C just before 7am, the equal lowest April minimum temperature since 1957, while a number of suburbs had temperatures of between 0C and 2C.
In Coldstream, in Melbourne’s outer east, the mercury dropped to -2.7C, while Mt Hotham had the morning’s lowest temperature of 4.4C – a day after the mountain recorded the lowest ever April minimum temperature of -8.2C.
Melbourne set another record yesterday when it recorded four days in a row below 15C for the first time since 1949, according to a report in The Herald Sun.
Weather bureau duty forecaster James Taylor said the freezing conditions were the result of a low pressure system that swept across Victoria last weekend.
“Across the state we’ve had widespread frost this morning. The reason it was so cold last night is due to a dry air mass and clear skies,” he said.
Mr Taylor said minimum temperatures were likely to rise to an average of 8C next week.
