墨尔本部分地区冷于霍巴特 澳气象局确认罕见低温

澳大利亚气象局近日确认，墨尔本在月初经历了全年最冷的日子，部分地区气温明显低于南方800公里外的霍巴特1。墨尔本西部拉弗顿达到0.8度，东部斯科兹比降至0.7度1。其中，墨尔本中心奥林匹克公园测得2.6度，同一时段明显冷于霍巴特的5.4度1。

尽管出现结冰温度，气象学家表示墨尔本今年冬季整体略高于长期平均水平1。维多利亚州阿尔卑斯地区因暖雨缺雪，可能成为近年来最差的滑雪季之一1。该地区经历了接近或可能是有记录以来最暖的七月1。

Australia's Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed that parts of Melbourne experienced some of the year's coldest temperatures in early February, with western Laverton dropping to 0.8 degrees Celsius and eastern Scoresby falling to 0.7 degrees Celsius 1. At Olympic Park in central Melbourne, temperatures reached 2.6 degrees Celsius around 7:30 a.m., which felt approximately minus 0.6 degrees with wind chill 1. Notably, this Melbourne reading proved significantly colder than Hobart, located 800 kilometers to the south, where temperatures reached 5.4 degrees Celsius during the same period 1.

Despite the frigid conditions observed on Saturday, Melbourne's winter overall has remained slightly warmer than the long-term average, with average minimum temperatures running 0.2 degrees higher and average maximum temperatures 0.4 degrees higher than historical norms 1. In the Victorian Alps, temperatures plunged to minus 3.3 degrees Celsius at Mount Donna Buang and minus 5 degrees Celsius at Mount Hotham 1. However, the region experienced near-record or potentially record-breaking warmth in July, with maximum temperatures running more than three degrees above average at Mount Hotham and two degrees above average at Mount Buller, positioning the upcoming ski season as potentially one of the poorest in recent years due to insufficient snowfall from warm rainfall 1.
