27/06/2006

Equal to record. Previous record set earlier this month. Note that this station is only reporting its minimum temperature to the nearest degree, so its run of equal records of -5.0 (on 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 26, 27 and 29 June) is a little misleading compared to most other stations that report to the nearest tenth of a degree.
