NEW ZEALAND SUFFERS ALL-TIME RECORD COLD
On the morning of Thursday, May 27, New Zealand suffered a wave of historical cold.

A powerful Antarctica air mass brought the mercury plunging to -8.8C (16F) at Dunedin International Airport, which is located in the SE of the South Island at an elevation of 1.2 m (4 ft).

This reading ties the all time lowest temperature EVER recorded at the airport (set in both May 1988 and July 2007), in record books dating back to 1963.

According to NIWA (New Zealand’s official meteorological agency), -10.1C (13.8F) was recorded at Middlemarch, a small town in the Otago region of the South Island cited at an elevation of 213m (699 feet).

This is the town’s lowest autumn temperature since 2001.

An even lower reading was logged at Tara Hills, Otago 466 m (1,529 ft).

Here, a bone-chilling -10.8C (12.5 F) was logged.

Again, this is the weather station’s coldest ever reading in the month of May.
