Well, I would've been justified in saying I was freezing yesterday. It got down to -0.7°C yesterday morning. Officially, it's the coldest minimum for Perth on record. Today it got down to 0.9°C. Still pretty cold for Perth. Also, it's been the driest start to Winter since the 1880's. Perth has an average rainfall of around 800mm over the year, most of it falling during the winter months. So far this winter, we haven't had a single drop of rain.
