An interesting meterological note about this years 2004 National at Waikerie. (From the Bureau of Meterology at http://www.bom.gov.au/announcements/media_releases/sa/20040202. shtml) ***This is why we all had such a hard time and why Phil Ritchie's win at the Club Class Nationals was so well deserving.
The Bureau of Meterology said; Temperatures: The mean maximum temperature for January 2004 was 25.9�C, which is 2.9�C below the normal January mean maximum of 28.8�C. The mean January maximum last year was 31.4�C. This has been the coolest mean maximum for January since 1992 when the mean maximum was only 25.1�C. During January 2004 there were only 4 days where the maximum temperature exceeded 30.0�C. This equals the all time record for the least number of days over 30.0�C, which previously occurred in January 1899 and 1887. On average, there are 12 days when the temperature exceeds 30.0�C during January. The mean minimum temperature for January 2004 was 14.9�C, which is 1.9�C below the normal January mean minimum of 16.8�C. Last January, the mean minimum was 18.1�C. This has been the coolest mean minimum for January since 1996 when the mean minimum was only 14.6� C. > > > Is there any dates set in concrete for the next Club Class Nationals > > at Waikerie?
