TEMPERATURE
This has been the coldest January since 1958, when accurate figures were recorded at North Geelong. Even in earlier records I have not been able to find a lower figure than the 16.7 degrees measured then. From 1957 temperatures were recorded at North Geelong, right next to Corio Bay. You would expect those figures to be moderated slightly by the sea, and they were. But from 1983 temperature figures have been recorded at Mt Duneed
