Our Weather: 2004

Return to Our weather | Temperature conversion chart | Monthly comparison | 2003 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009

Our basic max/min thermometer does not allow us to record the hours in a day of a specific temperature. We would like to know what our winter chill hours are for certain fruit trees and what days have the maximum hours at certain temperatures but alas the almighty dollar, or lack of them, prevails. But, according to a local nurseryman we get about 1400 chill hours per year in this area which is good news for all of the fruit trees.

In 1983 the St. Arnaud weather station (No. 79040) stopped recording temperatures.

The thermometer is read every morning which may lead to a carry over to the next day of the minimum temperature but on the whole the readouts give a good indication of our climate.

Minimum daily temperature in blue. Maximum daily temperature in red. Rainfall in green.
