AUSTRALIA: COLDEST WINTER IN 60 YEARS

It continues to be a cold, wet winter Down Under:

Sydney has shivered through its coldest August in 64 years.

The harbour city had an average maximum temperature during the month of 17 degrees celsius, slightly below the long-term normal of 18.

The average overnight temperature also was down one degree to eight degrees, according to the Weatherzone.com.au figures.

With the average minimum and maximum temperatures combined, Sydney's average temperature during the month came in at 12.7 degrees.

Weatherzone.com.au meteorologist Matt Pearce said while it was a sliver below the long-term normal of 13.3 degrees it was the coldest August since 1944.

I hope for the sake of my gas bill that we won't have a similarly cold winter this year in the USA, but I expect it, due to the absence of sunspot activity. I think we are in for at least 5 or 10 years of a progressively cooler climate.
