Melbourne used to be HEAPS colder in the old days, at least in the city. Below is a list of every sub-10 degree day in Melbourne on record!!
I found this on another forum.....after I put it there.
As a wank'ar bike rider, I have an interest in the weather, for obvious reasons. Last year I found the holy grail of weather stats, which is the data for every day on record for every Aus station going back about 160 years (depending on the location): http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/
Plug in the station number, select what data you want on the "data about" scroll-down option (rain, temperature, etc), and the stats pop up
One very wet day last October, I went through the stats and typed every sub-10 degree Melbourne day.
Melbourne had heaps more sub-10 degree days before around 1970 than we do now, and we also had more in June and other 'outlier' months. I can't even remember Melbourne having a really cold day in June. Here are some things I noticed:
1) Melbourne has only had one sub-10 degree June day since 1967 (in 1990), but between 1900 and 1949 we had 53!!
2) In the last 50 years Melbourne has had only 25 days under 10 degrees, yet in the 50 years between 1900 and 1949 we had 114, and between 1855 and 1900 there were 145.
3) Between 1855 and 1956, we had 34 days under 8 degrees, but in the 62 years since then, we've had only four.
4) Check out 1901, 1908, 1911, 1918, 1943, 1944 and 1945! Boy boy wow wee!!
Nine days under 10 degrees in 1901 ( including our coldest day on record of 4.4), 1908 and 1945.
5) Not only did Melbourne have many more days under 10, we also had more under 8 and 9, and even a few under 7.
There are other "interesting" points, but I can't find where I wrote them. Ha. No, I couldn't figure out how to do a table. The gaps are there because I initially missed a few, and including them in order without gaps would've meant heaps more farking around.
Some may question the accuracy of thermometers in the old days but, from what I can find, due to mercury thermometers being such a rudimentary device, accuracy wasn't a problem. Some say that any problem getting accurate data in the old days was more about the reliability of the people keep records (checking it often enough, etc) than about the instruments.
One two-bit theory I have about Melbourne getting warmer is that all the concrete in the city affected the temperature. Watcha reckon?

Interesting stuff.
I have read that over the last 50 odd years til now we have been in a warm period.
And that we are now going to go into a colder period.
The Earth has always historically had these cycles.
As for getting warmer due to Melbourne becoming a more built up city.
This is indeed a thing.

Thanks. Hmmm, it's much more of a thing than I realised, and probably makes my "points of interest" irrelevant. Ha

Btw i've also had a fiddle around Climate data online.
It's a great site!
The big thing i noticed for Hobart is our summers used to be a lot cooler.
Especially night time temps.
As for sub 10 degree days.
Hobart gets half a dozen to a dozen each year.
Since the year 2000 stats for sub 10 days here.
2000 - 7 (coldest 6.3 degrees)
2001 - 9 (coldest 7.4 degrees)
2002 - 6 (coldest 8.9 degrees)
2003 - 11 (coldest 8.3 degrees)
2004 - 21 (coldest 5.9 degrees)
2005 - 11 (coldest 6.4 degrees)
2006 - 15 (coldest 8.6 degrees)
2007 - 20 (coldest 7.4 degrees)
2008 - 3 (coldest 8.0 degrees)
2009 - 9 (coldest 8.6 degrees)
2010 - 4 (coldest 9.4 degrees)
2011 - 11 (coldest 7.5 degrees)
2012 - 7 (coldest 8.0 degrees)
2013 - 6 (coldest 7.9 degrees)
2014 - 9 (coldest 7.3 degrees)
2015 - 16 (coldest 7.2 degrees)
2016 - 5 (coldest 7.7 degrees)
2017 - 7 (coldest 9.0 degrees)
Judging by the stats one of the coldest winters here would be that of 1937.
33 sub 10 degrees days.
Most of June that year didn't warm above 10.
Also it was the coldest June for minimum temps.
Falling below zero on 4 occasions.

Yep, the last time I went looking for those daily stats, which was a long time ago, the Bureau said I had to pay for it, so I'm not sure how long it's been available for free.
It's also fun busting people exaggerating about so-called "extreme" weather events they experienced in the days of yore. They bang on about a heatwave or the "coldest day ever" they suffered through, then I can check it and tell them they were full of shit.
Perhaps Hobart hasn't warmed up as much as Melbourne over the decades.

Yeah it got down to 6.2 degrees this morning in Melbourne.
Coldest since September last year.
Down here it got down to 5.2 degrees.
The 4th morning in a row of temps under 7 degrees.
It's nice as i find it easier to sleep at those temps.
Liawenee in Tas got down to -5.2

So, not one of the lowest minimums translated to the lowest maximum. That's kinda weird.
I experienced something pretty cool on the weekend. We drove up Haleakala volcano in Maui. Would have been about 28 degrees at the base. It's one of the largest inclines in a short amount of space in the world. You see the same range of climates as you would driving from Canada to Mexico. At the top it was probably about 14 degrees. I didn't realize it until I looked it up but at 10,023ft it's the highest I would have been on Earth. Weird to think that you can just drive up it but it's 3,000ft higher than the peak of Whistler.

Was a bit nippy here this morning, only 9 degrees when I poked my nose outdoors, bit of fog around too. Love the cool nights and nice days though.

I wonder if the lower minimums are at night with no cloud cover so the subsequent is actually sunny and not so cool
