1. Sorry Warwick but the data is correct and you are not. The anomaly is against the period 1961 to 1990 – and the Charleville Aero is average minimum is 3.7c, not 4.3c as you advertised.

2. Both of these BoM sources say the July mean min is 4.3

   and for newcomers to the thread – my critical on the July minimum anomaly map is in comment six here.

   Go to the anomaly maps – click on “about the map” read on to the section where it says – “The anomaly maps show the departure from the long-term climate average calculated over the period 1961-1990”.

   Go to your second link – select 1961-1990 for the “period for calculating statistics” – and read the value for July of 3.7c.

   Do you agree now that the anomaly maps are, in fact, correct?

5. Agree GB – the Charleville CDO data agrees with that area of the map.

   I was concerned when the post went briefly down – pleased to see you’ve acknowledged this. Thanks.
