July ends with Melbourne’s coldest morning of the year

July has finished with a vengeance, producing the coldest morning of year in Melbourne.

Temperatures have dropped below zero a Cerberus and Coldstream on Melbourne’s fringes.

Michael Effron from the weather bureau says clear skies and light winds overnight caused the chilly conditions.

“We’ve seen a fair bit of fog in the Yarra Valley … but not so much in the west, where cloud cover has ensured a fairly mild morning in Geelong (minimum of 7.3°).”

August is expected to start in a cool but mostly dry fashion.
