Snow in Brisbane

Snow in Brisbane is an extremely rare occurrence, generally occurring only every few decades and only a light snowfall when it does.

1882
In the last week of July 1882, there was snowfall in Brisbane's inner suburbs. It was reported by the Brisbane Courier that the snow was most noticeable in Woolloongabba and that it was heavy enough that people could wipe it off their clothes. There was a strong westerly wind at the time and a temperature of 52°F (11°C). It was said that the last snowfall in the area had been around 1847.

1927
In June 1927, it was reported by the Brisbane Courier that there had been some snowflakes in Brisbane City on the 27th but they had melted upon reaching the ground.
