Warm evening temperatures in Sydney yesterday continued until around 1am this morning. It was 24.9C at midnight at the Airport before the city was hit by a strong southerly change. The strongest winds for the day were between 2am and 5:30am, with the highest gust being 70km/h right on 5am.
The rest of the day was rather cool. Southerly winds continued throughout the day and showers affected most locations around Sydney. The Airport received 4.2mm between 10am and 2:30pm. The winds and showers dropped temperatures further during the day. At 1:23pm it was sitting at only 15.6C.
Just like Sydney, if it weren't for warmer temperatures just after midnight in Jyväskylä the daily maximum would be much lower. It sat just below zero before dropping below -5C by 6am. It's almost 3pm now and the temperature hasn't risen above that mark, with no signs of it doing so until tomorrow afternoon. The current daily minimum is -7.4C, although it might get colder this evening.
During yesterday afternoon and evening there were some strong winds and flurries of snow. After sitting a couple of degrees above zero, winds turned from westerly to northwesterly around 3pm dropping temperatures to minus. The strongest wind gust I noticed at Jyväskylä Airport was 17m/s (61km/h) at 8:40pm, not too far from storm force.
I went for a run around Jyväsjärvi yesterday around 4:30pm and for anyone who knows Jyväskylä, going across Kuokkala Bridge against strong winds while wet snow is falling is anything but nice. I've only gone across the bridge in conditions that bad two or three times before. The slippery ice didn't help either...
