Thanks for raising that question Rick. US weather zones in Australia are pretty much alien to me and going by the colour representing your US zones on the Australian map, puts my location with an 8b rating.I know that colour map is wrong, because that 8b rating also is representative of Alice Springs which is in the desert in central Australia.Going up to a 9 rating (by that colour map) makes my location tropical, the same as far North Queensland--and we certainly aren't tropical.It was about 5 AM when I updated and put my full location/zone in two days ago and I hadn't been to bed, so that also adds to my excuse.
So going by these weather statistics at the closest station (Warrnambool 30 klms away), what is the correct US zone for Nullawarre?
mean max 19C
mean min 8.4C
Thanks--hope you can clarify for me
