Apparently there is an 'alert' that rural parts of Scotland may get frost tonight.
Just a bit unseasonal!!!

I looked at the time for the byline as well. Is this a spoof? Cause I saw the same time/date etc as Ratty saw.
Or an older man's thing?

getting cold in Oz "A strong cold front will sweep over much of Australia over the weekend, potentially causing the largest outbreak of frigid conditions in 15 years, the Bureau of Meteorology says. The likelihood of snow falling over the ranges all the way up into Queensland also has emergency services warning motorists and those planning outdoor activities such as skiing or camping to "plan carefully for the cold conditions". Blair Trewin, senior climatologist with the bureau, said the last time Australia had such a large northward spread of snowfall was in May 2000." www.smh.com.au/environment/weather/sydney-weather-polar-burst-to-bring-plunge-in-temperatures-snow-to-alps-20150709-gi88ak

The words "cold" and "snow" mentioned in an article from Pravda-On-The-Harbour! Shiver me timbers! Locally predicted 6 -> 15C next Monday (Brisbane).

Apparently, it will even snow in the Southern Tablelands of Queensland this weekend.
Closer to home, it may snow in the more elevated Melbourne suburbs, which is really rare.
I'll be burning a lot of wood this weekend - our house insulation standards are awful.

In 1969 or 1970, when I was AdminO at RAAF Frognall, we had snow in the grounds of the historic house that was our HQ at 54 Mont Albert Road, Canterbury.

So yesterday we had second coldest july day in 36 years here in middle of norway"trondheim" barely breaching 10c with a max 10.5c.. Meanwhile today we did not even reach 10c with temps only reaching a max of 9.8c! And at higher altitude regions at west coast we have now forecasts for snowfall in areas where this is not normal at all during this time of year..
It is funny how so called "weather" is just continuing. I really fear how bad this will get over the coming decades with solar activity dropping even further. Edit: meanwhile in december 2000 we had several days over 10c with one day reaching 13c and a average of 10c. Surely normal that we have several days in a row in the HOTTEST month of the year where temps are lower than a mild winter day. Even in january-feb we usually get at least a few days with 8-12c max temps.
