What is YOUR weather like today??

Cooler today and cold in the morning. Sydney and the southern NSW coast have had a months worth of rain overnight. A lot or the areas burned out in Jan are now flooded. A small town in the middle of Tasmania recorded minus 14.6 c yesterday. Strange happenings downunder. Ron.
 
It's a comfortable 18c with a cool breeze....luuurvely.Been for a cycle in the opposite direction from the coast and had a thermos in the shade of the trees...speaking of which,they're looking really sorry for themselves and could do with a good soaking to wake them up.....but NOT as sorry as trees in Ron-land of course....keep well my friends.
 
It is strange, in some ways its like the whole country has gone on holidays, the weekdays seem like weekends. Summer continues on with fairly good weather, it seems like time is standing still. We had a tornado in Manitoba killing two who were hurled while inside their vehicle for over a kilometer through the air.
 
mild and showery here.....I can' believe it's August already.Probably because there has been nothing to mark he summers passing.There are usually county fairs,markets,cycle races.motor bike /classic car shows,Life Boat charity fairs,music festivals and air shows marathons etc.
There has been some stuff on line,but a virtual marathon isn't the same. as seeing 10,000 people running along the roads.
Will things ever be as they were I wonder.
 
Lovely and sunny here, very warm breeze.

I can't believe that Autumn is around 6 weeks away. This year is the freakiest of my life. My health didn't help, but i am so desperate for this phase to be over. I wish to God this whole episode would be over soon. Brazil and India have major issues now, and the US doesn't look like slowing down, now we have the increases. Ours are centred around pubs, restaurants and the like. Few deaths daily now though. God knows how i'm supposed to acquire immunity and to be fair, i don't want the vaccine either.

Stay safe all.
 
The PVR died last night leaving me with nothing but regular TV with commercials as I could not play back recorded content. I refuse to watch TV with commercials constantly interrupting programing. I put on some old movies, and music later on. Waiting for the call back from the satelite TV people, I'll bet this will be a replacement unit and they don't come cheap.
 
I find it quite stressful when stuff like that happens as well as annoying.I'm not into technology and hubby can't even switch things on,so how do we know repairmen are telling the truth ? I agree with dodging the ads.,when I do that the programs are 40-45mins shorter..I mean who takes any notice of tv ads. anyway ?

25c and my fan is working overtime.....
 
25c Today, winds have dropped. South of Australia is wet whilst most of the northern areas remain in drought. Victoria still in strife with covid, averaging around twenty deaths a day. Covid has also shown up again in New Zealand which had been covid free for around 100 days. I don't think I will be taking the Russian vaccine. Ron.
 
Lovely and hot again today. lots of lightening last night, very little thunder and only a tad of a shower during the storm. Today should be similar.

Our death count is rising slightly, numbers plentifully. I heard that NZ has 4 cases so they've locked down again. There were pics of the rush to buy going on down there. I see Aus has also got the spike in numbers as have many nations coming out of lockdown. We have very few in hospital with it. I hope it's losing its strength. I hear Putin made his daughter get the vaccine. So i don't believe they have one. That's typical dictator talk.
 
Another humid day.Couldn't wait to get home from town,hair wet and mask very wet and couldn't think straight....nothing new there then.
150 meteors an hour will pass across UK skies tonight as Earth passes through a cosmic dust cloud. I'll have to take their word for ir as it's going to be between midnight and 5am..I might take a look out of the bathroom window on my usual nightly visit though.
 
Hmm, left message with MacMillan nurse on Monday. Wanted her to go through my scan with me cos my onc wouldn't say anything other than giving me a right dressing down over being constipated. Think he was in a bad mood as he called more than an hour early. I expect he was short with all his previous patients. Anyway, i got Laxido from doc, but nurse called just now. She kindly went through the scan with me. BIG SHOCK!

NO SIGN OF CANCER. BYE BYE STAGE IV, GRADE 3C AND PALLIATIVE BRCA1+OVARIAN CANCER. Wow, i think i might cry tonight. And my onc didn't mention it to me.

One happy bunny sitting watching a thunderstorm. Strangely, i have no idea how to think, feel or do. weird sensation at the moment. Haha, i think it might be feel good factor. I hope it doesn't come back.
 
Hugs Di. Doctors tend to be negative when dealing with cancer, that is why I suggested a little while back not to panic until you have something to panic about. You needed a scan , you have had it now and your results are good. My suggestion is to look after the rest of your health as well as possible. Eat healthy(balanced meals not fads) try to keep off alcohol, drink lots of water and watch the constipation ,it often goes hand in hand with opiate based pain killers. I have found that coloxyl is one of the best and safest ways to relieve constipation. I take two coloxyl at night and one in the morning. They are stool softeners and with plenty of water they really work well ,BIG hug Ron.
Lots of fronts moving across the southern states with a chance of more lows forming off the southern NSW coast. Some areas got over 300mm in 24 hrs from the last one. Still very dry for most of the northern half of Australia. Ron.
 
Same as yesterday here....14c and mist all the way up the N.East coast but still summery in the rest of the country.

Di., hope you're used to the good news by now.I'm assuming you will get it in writing one day soon.
I see Northampton is maybe next for a lockdown,Stay .safe.
 
warmer the past few days with temps of 27c. Some rain expected today. I'm not sure we will get any but NSW is once again getting the major share. Glad they got the fire under control Buff , it has been pretty smoky here with a lot of controlled burns trying to get an early start to undergrowth reduction. Ron.
 
I'm so pleased i don't have issues with tourists anymore, Chris. I hated Bude with all it's swarming tourists. My niece just took a trip to Wales and was screaming at the size of the hail on the car. They did get a break to get out and enjoy themselves and loved it, but the weather could have definitely been better. Funny watching all the Brits race home from France yesterday. Seems everyones numbers are going up. Northampton has been hit badly in a sandwich proscessing factory. It's still open for work mind! Makes you wonder. I shall need to be there for bloods in a couple of weeks but the numbers are rising fast in Northampton.

Last night the street lights went on at 8.30pm as it was such a dark gloomy day. Normally it's just before 9pm at the moment. I have seen plenty of leaves falling too. Not long before Autumn is declared, and what a crap year it's been. Today the sun is trying to show itself, but not outdoing the cloud cover. Not much good news for next week either. The rains are coming in heavy and regular now and will do for the rest of the week. It's definitely British weather.

Stay safe all.
 
Cool dry and very windy. Cold westerlies blowing. Overnight temps down to 8c and daytime 23c. We are expecting the wind to turn north west on Thursday and the temp to get up to 28c. NZ has put their election off for a month due to the second wave of corona. Victoria had 25 deaths overnight but new infections are dropping. All of our deaths have been in the 55+ group with one twenty year old being the exception. Ron.
 
covid seems to have slowed down but it's def.not over..UK deaths have been a low under 10 for a few days but there are 1000 + new cases every day.Hopefully the medics are finding it easier to manage than at the onset but this is when people start to get gung-ho.....Europe is having an upsurge and they managed it a lot better than the uk...Kids back to school in 2-3 wks. so we shall see.

18c and after a misty murky 4+ days the sun is trying to show itself
 
It was only 8C this morning creating a nip in the air. Clear, but cool day coming up. Few tourists this year with the USA Canada boarder being closed. There has been a slight rise in cases of covid, but a second wave is being predicted by fall. Schools are preparing to open soon, and there is talk about craming 70 students per bus and little in the way of distancing in the schools. If I were in the position of having kids, they would stay home and be home schooled. There is too much of a push to return to normal which we are far from given the state of the virus. The fire in Red Lake is declared under control and people are returning home.
 
We aren't seeing temps like that here now, Ron. Sounds like good summer to us. Colder today and downpours too. Tomorrow will be a washout. Haven't been anywhere today and prob won't challenge the incredible wet weather we will be getting all day. Carol. I think it might be safe for you and your bike tomorrow lol.

Our numbers are certainly down now, but we do have more infections too. Seems to be pubs, restaurants, and food factories. I avoid both the first and don't need an M&S sandwich at all, so hopefully i will be fine. I want to be out and about. Refraining now i don't apparently have any cancer seems extremely hard work.. Stay safe all.
 
I'm with those that want it wet. We are really starting to dry out. a couple of grassfires stared south of Brisbane yesterday and took some time to get under control. There is no short term prospects for rain. Longterm they say we are entering a La'ninya phase with severe rain events predicted and more severe cyclones. Bit of a worry. Ron.
 
warm,breezy and dry......I'm frazzled. We drove along the coast at 10-30am and I couldn't believe the number of parked cars and people.
There wasn't a space to be had for at least 5 miles.We turned inland to a market town and it was hot and crowded.Queues outside of shops because of covid regulations so once I'd collected a new release book I had reserved,we came home...no way will I queue except for meds. and chocolate and even then I'd have to be desperate......
 
19c with strong winds and short showers.....I think future weather is going to turn up when least expected,so it's probably best to be prepared

,especially when you've spent a lot of time and energy getting there,you don't want damp wood when you need a fire eh.?
 
A big pool of Antarctic air over southern Australia with a huge low pressure system over Bass strait. Snow from Tasmania to the NSW highlands down to 500 meters. Our morning temps will be 7-8 c for the next seven days thanks to the SW winds off the low. Ron.
 
Still cool and lots of dust coming in on the strong westerly winds. Not helping my hayfever and sinuses. We have high fire danger at the moment with the dry and the high winds. California suggested we send some of our firefighters over there to help out. It may happen if the government allows travel for them. Ron.
 
Cool nights and warm days here . Very dry in Queensland but ok in the southern states. We have high fire danger here and areas of the Northern territory around Darwin are experiencing extreme high fire danger. Some towns in northern WA have recorded temps in the high 40c range which are record temps for winter. There is still a lot of dust haze around from the strong westerlies in the past few weeks. Spring starts next week.Ron.
 
Gosh, all that snow down under, Ron, amazing. But then 40C? Carol would be complaining about Aus winters here. What's going on down there. California is really suffering again this year. People are losing their lives, their animals and their properties. Such hearbreaking suffering going on this year. I'd love to think we are over this covid, but with deaths in single figures, we still aren't anywhere near normal.

Exceptionally windy out there with some showers.
 
Heavy rain and gusty wind all night and morning but there's a little glimmer of sunshine this arvo and it's 15c....oops it's clouding over again.
Oh well, I'm in for the rest of the day so no wurries.

Terrible wild fires.It's got to be one of the most terrifying things to face.
 
cloudy 14c.Lots of flooded campsites in Wales and the South of the country but no lives lost....maybe they paddled away on there lilo's ?

Scott was awakened at 3am due to an earthquake in Kalgoorlie.He thought at first that the gold mines were blasting but they don't usually during the night.He says its on the news
 
Earthquakes for Aus now! Omg, Anyone would think that Australia is still full of convicts needing punishment.

Weather here has calmed down beautifully now. God, those winds last night were a tad worrying, but no signs of any damage yet. No rain today although the rest of the week is going to be crap. Those who decided on the staycation are seriously regretting it.
 
Earthquakes are quite common in WA . It is just so big and empty that normally no one notices. It sits on the convergence of two tectonic plates. Some of the biggest quakes have put some remarkable creases in the desert for hundreds of miles. We haven't had a quake on our side of the country for a few years. There was an underwater volcanic eruption somewhere out in the Pacific recently and a few weeks back a huge raft of pumice came ashore in north Queensland. Our weather is starting to warm up a little and we are expecting mid twenty c days for the next couple of weeks. In the territory and northern WA it is very hot and very dry. Fire danger is severe to critical with fires burning west of Darwin barely under control. If we don't get some rain soon we will have the same problem here. Ron.
 
The only areas getting any rain is the south of the country. A wild front swept thru Bass strait and Victoria overnight with some strong winds and rain. Three people were killed in the area around Melbourne by falling trees. They keep talking up the prospect of above average spring rains with la nina due to set in this spring and summer. We have had several forecasts for heavy rain in SE Qld over the past months but nothing eventuated. Ron.
 
Cold, windy and downpours. Feels like November. I put my heating on today. Oh, well, September in a few days. Then the run in to Winter! Hmmm, i can feel a slightly lower mood moving in as the days get dark much faster. Not seeing anything much with the sunsets either. Omg, i'm a weather whinging Brit doing her best today, lol.
 
11c with a cold breeze and light showers....we had a walk to the weekend market at the Victorian railway station along the road just to fill an hour or so.Glad to be home and have bums on sofas for the rest of the day...I'm on steroids for the next few weeks and I'm not sleeping as well as I usually do...but hey,it's not like I've got kids to care for or work to go to,so I can sit here for as long as I like...…...
 
Cool drizzly kind of day with a raw wind out of the northwest. I put the fire on last evening to take the chill off, soon it will be time to pull the airconditioner out of the window. I'll hold off until later next month, there is always one more hot spell. Moved two loads of wood yesterday, and probably more this afternoon.
 
Strangely, i find since official lockdown i have failed to find enough things to do to prevent boredom and anxiety. I can't believe what it did to my psychologically. I was feeling so well in February and had planned so much that it's like some prison door slammed in my face. Sorry you're on steroids Carol. I was awake a bit when they give very high doses for chemo. I'm absolutely no fan of steroids. I took them for 9 years solid and my body suffered very badly with them, then i ended up a tad psychotic. Not a medicine of choice really. Hope the course works for you and that it's not too long to be on them.

Looking sunnier out this morning. I have put the heating on for an hour now though.
 
Spring has arrived. It was around 27c today and we are expecting 30c sometime this week. I have had enough of winter with the aches and pains from arthritis and neuropathy but I'm not sure I am ready for summer yet. One of the controlled burns out the back of town got out of control today and they had to get a water bombing chopper in. Ron.
 
17c with a slightly coolish breeze....walked down the bank to the quay for want of anything else to do. As it's a holiday, mobs of people and traffic about and queues at the chippy .Beautiful calm sea as far as the horizon. We're very lucky to live where we do but having lived here all of our lives,we tend to take it for granted.Plenty of walks and cycle rides from the door and many many ancient castles,hills and countryside within a short car ride...I don't know how people live in cities
 
Very fall like, breezy cool with showers. Its getting to the point where I will need to have a fire on in the evenings each night. Ron I never liked the idea of prescribed burns. They perform these periodically and many times the fires get away and destroy property. They are often refered to as prescribed disasters.
 
Stats have shown that we again had a hotter than average winter. The same is expected for spring. Already areas of the northern territory and large tracts of WA have reached catastrophic fire danger. It has been one of our windiest years on record .with high frontal winds causing damage in most states Qld has not been as bad but predictions are that our cyclone season will have bigger and more intense storms this season as well as a greater frequency.Ron.

I think summer might be done, I am into the fall routine now, bringing in wood, more need for heating. It will be time to put the shorts away and bring out long pants. They are forecasting a colder than normal September.
Click to expand...
It's amazing how quickly life and routine passes when you're (we're) getting to a certain age eh? I can't recall what I've done since last winter.Probably because I've done very little to recall due to the covid……...mildish and clouding over today.
 
Wow, Carol, i can't remember anything much either. I decided to do an online dementia test. I was genuinely worried. I need to get out more somehow.

Went to the hospital for bloods yesterday, weather was fine, and Northampton was its usual busy self. Hospital wasn't busy at all, but the bustle was nice to see. I actually enjoyed being out, however, my legs are killing me from a short walk. Can't believe how unhealthy i've become. I really haven't done any exercise for well over a year. Omg. New routine for September i think. I've just got myself a mini trampoline as a rebounder. Apparently it's really good for draining nodes. I'll probably hurtle myself off and break everything, lol.

Well, it's drab again here with rain expected. It certainly is autumnal now. It saddens me somewhat. I'll be hitting SAD in a couple of weeks. I can't bear the thought of those short dark days. I'm going to have to get out somehow. There are no adult education classes, all the art groups etc in the village haven't reopened and won't this year as many are older and infirm. Any suggestions for keeping myself occupied since i was diagnosed? I swear i can't find anything more to do. I dould fill in badger holes i suppose and pick up their poo.

Hang on, we'll be getting glitzy for Xmas soon won't we. I could get to put up my tree that i treated myself to last xmas lol. Maybe i'll start on the xmas cards.
 
I decided to pull the airconditioner from the window, its early to do that but the forecast going forward is cold and wet. My house is warmer for it this morning as those units leak a lot of cold air. I topped up the oil tank and carried wood into the house. The farmer's almanac is calling for a cold winter with a lot of snow. That would be good for the ski trail, and for the health of our forests.
 
I am feeling a little bit better today, I've just been thru three days of pretty severe vertigo. I did not get out of bed yesterday but I started procalm (stemitil) the moment I felt it coming on three days ago and so far have avoided the severe vomiting that normally goes with the vertigo.. The weather is warming quickly and there are still areas with severe to catastrophic fire warnings in the west and north of the country and we continue to get severe winds associated with fronts sweeping through the south of the country.Ron.
 
18c with sun and scattered clouds...….Di., how about cycling ? If you google "sustrans" or join a forum you will probably be able to hook up with others who want to go at a slower pace with a partner...….Failing that you could get a walker like Ron has and toodle 'round the block.
Keep off the bouncer though in case you get stuck in a tree.
 
I could do with a fly weight bike, Carol. My neighbour raked out the bike that was left here by former tennants. After 5 years the gears are a tad stiff but the tyres remain blown up. It had no saddle but my neighbour put one on. It's a Pro-bike City Discoverer, at a cost of around £200 and so big and heavy, it's one of those Oxford/Cambridge bikes. I wobbled on that too. Way too heavy for me. But i used to love cycling. I could be nearer Ron's level of fitness lol.

Drab autumn weather here today. there seems to be that familiar stillness and dankness hanging in the air. It's damp, cold and i can just feel that nothing is going to grow anymore this year. I think the dying phase is upon us.
 
Fall and winter are my favorite seasons. I love being out in the forest... Took a nice ride around the valley yesterday... Wow! Things are cooling off and this weekend is the last of the hoard of tourists everywhere I turn. Bow hunting season has started and regular hunting season officially starts on the tenth of this month. The tourists seem to be very afraid of men in camouflage with rifles and bows. Neat trick! I'm going to be doing a lot of hunting and riding in the bush soon. I like deer, elk, and moose meat. We also have plenty of grouse around here that taste great. It's been a fairly cool day with a high of 21c. Cheers all!
 
Why did i believe only Scotland love grouse? Didn't know you had any Chris. Sounds like the perfect autumn. No tourists and a pleasant autumn in the woods.

I'm thinking that we've definitely had the last of our good weather. Glum and chilly out early this morning. Think i shall have a big autumn bill this time. Can't believe i've had the heating on more so far. I like to leave it off until late October. no chance this year.
 
15c with the odd light shower.Still people down the riverside but Friday is fish and chip day and I suppose if you don't live here it's a nice run out.
As the weather cools the "fair weather" crowds will disappear indoors until Easter....Please people,you've been hogging the place for 6 months !!!
 
Yesterday was very windy cold with a lot of rain, I spent the day cleaning house. I got the firewood delivery and now have another 10 bush cords to work through, heating for two years. Much of this years wood is piled and tarped. Soon hunting season comes and I enjoy hunting grouse, they are so much better than the chicken found in the store. Today looks like a mixed bag with a possible passing shower +8C
 
15c and a nice day...during a walk to the park I was feeling a tad clammy (steroids ?) but when I touched the tip of my nose with the back of my hand it was definitely 10 degrees cooler than the rest of me....progress !!!

Poor Di. will have an egg cosy on her nose soon.
 
Not been too good here. Definitely a nip in the air each morning. Actually when the sun poked its nose through the clouds then it was actually quite radiant. I suspect that's the suns last summer fling.

My neighbour has just mowed my lawn at the front for me and he has remarked on the piles of badger poo. He doesn't have piles of poo but apparently he had to give up on mowing his back lawn as it looks like the Somme. Mine does too.

I shall keep my nose warm Carol anyway i can. Even with an egg cosy. Could be protection against covid lol. Mind. I could have a good laugh and go the slightly longer version of the 'egg warmer' garment. The sort that suits a longer nose. I quite fancy giving the world a shock with a 'willy warmer' face mask.
 
It would be a sell out Di. or maybe not......those were the days when non-pc was acceptable and people could see the funny side of such things

without having the vapours....14c and calm.Enjoyed a bike ride,but glad to have my bum on the sofa now..Steroids are interfering with my normally very good sleep pattern and appetite...4wks to go.
 
Around here I am finding a lot of bear poo, its the time of the year the bears bulk up for winter. I made a steady pace back to the house when I heard something big and heavy moving about in the bush yesterday when I was down at the creek. I did run the wash yesterday taking advantage of the dry day to hang out the laundry. 12C expecting rain later.
 
We are getting a few light showers this morning, nice change. Carol I really feel for you , my steroid years were the worst of my life and I am still paying with bone density problems and type two diabetes. Buff I don't know whats worse the bears or the poo. If there is a doggy doo anywhere within half a mile, I will step in it. Ron.
