Armidale's temperature range yesterday (25 June) was amazing: -9C to +16C (or 16F to 61F), a range of 25C (45F). This was a bit like deepest winter to almost summer in one day.
This happens because the air is crystal clear with little or no wind. Heat built up in the day dissipates quickly at night, and we are 1000m asl. During the day however there is brilliant sunshine which heats the ground rapidly. Even in mid-winter here, the angle of the sun is still quite high unlike in the UK where it barely 17 degrees above the horizon in December.
However, I don't like the cold mornings - and they're terrible for cycling!
