Friday, December 7, 1956Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Centre, Melbourne, Australia

grey from 8am70°F

Mild in the small hours, the air near 60°F under a full sky of cloud. It never really lifted. The morning warmed to near 70° and stopped there, the grey holding the day flat. A wind off the bay picked up in the afternoon and strong gusts came through, cooler than the air they pushed. By evening the temperature slid back. The cloud thinned late and by the last hour the sky was nearly clear.
