Not once has it reached 30. This February is also unusually wet for the ACT. Yesterday afternoon the ACT was lashed by two storms during the afternoon and evening. The highest falls were at Horse Park with 27mm. Tuggeranong and the airport only had 3mm. Despite small falls yesterday in Tuggeranong, it has already reached its February average rainfall with 84mm.

The nation's capital will finally get a break from the wet conditions on Thursday when the temperatures start to increase again. However, temperatures are not expected to get above the average of 28 degrees until next Sunday. This means that this February is likely to be one of the coldest on record for the ACT.
