That would be worse than the equivalent of frost south of Cancun Mexico (lat. 21 N). Townsville is 19.5 S. Fur-lined thongs may become popular. Has Townsville EVER had frost? I would guess not in recorded weather records?[/quote] A quick search produced this: Coldest Ever - 1.1°C - 09/08/1941 Can't find a quick reference for frost.

Ah memories of the Cockbridge to Tomintoul road and snow in August (and the Tomintoul malt as well) As Billy Connoly always said: "Scotland has two seasons, June and Winter"

[] As Billy Connoly always said: "Scotland has two seasons, June and Winter" We have two too: Bloody Hot and Not Quite So Bloody Hot (usually). An elderly friend ** in Canberra reckons it's the coldest Winter in his forty year *** experience. ** All my friends are elderly. *** A wise man once said: Worst in living memory is never a good metric. Wait, that was me!

This is why NASA/NOAA deliberately tamper with datasets so that 'journalists' (cough) can put screaming headlines such as "July was the world's hottest month EVER recorded on Earth in 140-years of measurements and brought Arctic sea ice to its lowest point yet, NOAA says
Last month was 0.95 degrees Celsius (1.71 degrees F) warmer than average It narrowly topped the previous July record, set in 2016, by 0.03 C (0.05 F) At the same time, NOAA says Arctic sea ice this year sat at 19.8%below average"www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7360991/Scientists-confirm-July-set-new-global-heat-record.html
