Sydney Temperature Records

Today, it got so cold in Sydney, even down to 8°C in the evening. It is the coldest day, so far, since I arrived in Australia, though such a temperature would be very common, even seen as warm, for winters in north China.

I just wanted to compare the weather records of Sydney and Jinan (my hometown in China) and found the following sites by searching Google. The result shows that the coldest days in a year in Sydney would be in July. A long way to go for the next spring from now... ;-)

Moreover, it is amazing that I also found a site which allows you to query the every day history of weather in many cities all over the world, including Jinan, China!
