Obviously dry heat

Yeah, it is essentially a dry heat. But I thought people would consider dewpoints between 13C-15C to be "in between", or a bit of both.

I would consider it mildly humid -no problem if you're just relaxing, but a little bit clammy if you're working hard.

Still feels like spring out there. Winter to spring this week. Back to winter tomorrow. Possibility of accumulating snowfall tomorrow

An amazing coastal climate in far north-eastern Norway, I never knew the Gulf Stream could be that extreme that far east...

Surprised at lack of snowmelt despite the sun. It's 2c so not that cold.

Places with the greatest annual temperature range in Southern Hemisphere?

[EverBlack]

If you mean the difference between the record high and the record low, the highest I could find in Australia in a quick research was Mitchell, Queensland.

Record high: 46.8 °C
Record low: -9.4 °C
Difference: 56.2 °C

However, I found a few climates in South America that exceed 60 °C difference, such as:

Perito Moreno:

Record high: 35.0 °C
Record low: -25.7 °C
Difference: 60.7 °C

Malargüe:

Record high: 36.7 °C
Record low: -24.6 °C
Difference: 61.3 °C

Esquel:

Record high: 38.6 °C
Record low: -22.8 °C
Difference: 61.4 °C

Paso de Indios

Record high: 38.3 °C
Record low: -24.2 °C
Difference: 62.5 °C

Maquinchao:

Record high: 37.5 °C
Record low: -25.6 °C
Difference: 63.1 °C

If you're talking about the mean maximum and minimum, I don't know, Wunderground data is very scarce for cities in South America.

Looking on Twitter, it looks like you only got a dusting of snow? Where's the dumping you were supposed to get?
