Same here Carol. Lovely day, loads more flowers and i'm feeling spiritually a bit better, let's hope the physical health improves for me to feel this move into Spring. Bring on Summer, I say. I'm ready and waiting, lol.
 
Bright and sunny again getting up to 32c again by Sunday. South Australia has had a week of heatwave in the mid to high 30,cs. Perth has had heat and now a bunch of storms. Ron .
 
Ron50,

Have you tried a fairly moist towel around your neck area? I find if I put a slow blowing fan towards it, I feel good. It helps cool me sometimes.

wishing you the very best,

cmack

I put a wet,wrung out dish towel in the freezer for a while.I use two and alternate them.
 
Very windy today, power was out earlier and I had to drag the generator outside. Hate doing that first thing in the morning before having a bowel movement. It rained overnight, but now its snowing. Hoping for a coating of snow on top of the icy snowpack. I want to go cross country skiing, its perhaps my most favorite activity.
 
We have had a strong southerly blowing for a week. This would normally result in temps in the mid twenties but our temps remain above 30c with no rain expected. Ron.
 
Lovely spring day here with many daffodils out now. A tad on the chilly side, but hey, who cares, I have the first hedgehog out of hibernation and scoffing mealworms lol. I am eagerly hedgehog watching now and until the end of October. whoopee.
 
I hope your snow doesn't last as long as poor Ron's heat.

Mild here,getting into double figures later.Overcast and no wind.The birds are singing fit to bust and spring flowers are in bloom.What's there to whinge about ?
 
Another cyclone hit the Kimberly region a couple of days ago, Darwin got a good drenching as well. Still hot in the Perth area, South Australia has had a non stop heat wave. A deep low is pounding southern NSW and big swells on the east coast. Still no cyclones on the east coast, that is what gives us most of our rain. It has been raining well up north but still dry as a bone here and over 30c most days. The forecasters said that there is virtually no chance of a cyclone forming this late in autumn. Ron.
 
Still windy, but its turned colder -26 this morning and now -17 after lunch under brilliant sunshine with cobalt blue skies. Going cross country skiing up the trail this afternoon. Going to enjoy the last of winter, it will soon switch over to spring and then come the biting flies. I wonder how many 5 gal pails I would have filled up with the biting flies I've swatted over a lifetime.
 
WA must have blamed the government for the weather they lost around 18 seats in a landslide loss in the election overnight. We finally made it into the high 20çs today but still high humidity, Ron.
 
Back over 30c for tomorrow and the rest of the week, 77% humidity tonight but no rain. Ron.
 
12c.sunny start but clouding over now (2pm).Forecast look about the same for the rest of the week,so no whinging from me for a while.
 
Turned nice now. Sun trying to come through the clouds, but not cold. Not had the heating on too much lately either. Lots of flowers and leaves appearing on many shrubs, trees and other plants. the hedgepig will be around nightly soon. I've nothing to whinge about concerning the weather.

I wonder if you'll get a junior Dave D., or maybe he will be to young to breed yet ?
 
86% of Qld is now drought declared and the forecast for the next few months is dismal. we may get a light reprieve this week with the possibility of a small east coast low forming in our area but as the forecasters said , it is looking good but be prepared to be disappointed again. The signs are increasing that we are heading into an el-nino again. Ron.
 
A supercell formed in the Brisbane valley this afternoon. Travelled two hundred kliks and beat up a heap of farms and small towns before hitting the northern suburbs of Brisbane and caused a fair bit of havoc. The upside was a good drenching for some very dry areas. We even managed around 50mm in our area which is more rain than we have had so far this year. They are hopeful that a small east coast low will form and bring a bit more rain. Ron.
 
Dull and drab today, not so warm either. Hedgie was about last night which was lovely. Not sure they mate until they are two years. But i'm hoping for mummies and babies to be trotting and pigging out in my garden.
 
Shedwards parents are starting nesting again.I hope we don't have the same carry on as last year.Much rather have hoggies,but we'll still do our bit if need be.

Aw bless those birds. I hope you get some shedwards and shedwina's to admire your shed, lol. I'm awaiting that giraffe's calf live on youtube. They got her dates wrong so it's been 2.5 weeks of eagerly awaiting, i'm bored of the entire episode now.

Rain is good Cmack, and I hope all in the eastern parts of the US are safe.

Here it's a truly wonderful spring day. I love this. I wish summer were this lovely, but hey it's Britain.
 
Looks like the east coast low will form over northern NSW and not off the Sunshine coast .We probably will not get any rain from it. Disappointing. Ron.
 
30c today with 70% humidity. Going up tomorrow to around 33c and high humidity. Almost impossible to work absolutely impossible to sleep. The run of above average temps is forecast to continue. Ron.

Everything is slushy, snowy and soggy here, above zero. We are about a month behind usual.

Oh yuck,I remember my dogs used to get in a heck of a mess.Especially my G.S.Ds who did like to roll in snow but mucky slush was a favourite.:sign0085:




Colder today,about 5c.and grey.
 
32c high humidity, Brisbane got some wild storms including a tornado at Bris airport. Very rare to get tornadoes on land here we usually get them offshore as water spouts. There was no traffic on the tarmac when it touched down so it was more a curiosity than a problem. Ron.
 
They forecast 29c for today. Naturally by 1030 am it has reached 31c. Humidity is close to 60%. It is supposed to be raining but it is sunny with big white fluffy clouds. The endless summer continues. Ron.
 
Yesterday was the Spring Equinox....equal dark and daylight hours.Now we can look forward to gradually lenghtening days, but hopefully not like today.Grey and damp.
 
It finally decided to rain. The gold coast hinterland copped half a metre of rain over the weekend. We haven't had anywhere near that up on the sunshine coast but we have probably received 150mm over the past few days. The temps have fallen slightly but are heading back to the 30cs by the end of the week. It has stirred the crocs up , a skin diver was attacked and killed yesterday diving on a close in reef and a young bloke jumped into one of the northern Qld creeks for a dare and nearly lost his arm. The docs were able to sew most of it back togeather. Still hard to sleep 23-4c overnight and 93% humidity , Ron.
 
It's been sunny for most of the day,but cooler than of late.Big temperature drop tonight and "Thunder Snow" expected mid-week.!!!!

I have never seen thunder snow before.

Oh,you know how they like to dress things up,nothing's ever straight forward.


Sunny,quite cold and windy.We had a miniscule flurry this morning,but before I could say"It's snowing" it was over.hahaha.

Expecting snow over night but warmer at the weekend..:dance::dance::dance:
 
A few cloudy days with some heavy showers. The rains have not reached the worst of the drought effected areas but the forecasters are keeping an eye on an east coast low in the Coral sea that may yet develop into a cyclone, the one they said shouldn't happen. Ron.
 
Lots of rain , mostly central and south central coast but we are expecting more tomorrow. The forecaster tonight suggested that the low in the coral sea was showing definite signs of intensifying and could be a cyclone by the weekend. Interesting to see if it does. Water temps are certainly still high enough. Ron.
 
They are about a day off naming cyclone Debbie. They are talking cat 3 to start with. They expect it to intensify over the next few days and possibly make landfall between Cairns and Mackay on Monday. They caught the Croc that bit the guy on the arm last week. It was four meters so he is very lucky to have his arm and his life. They did not get the one that killed the skin diver but they got a look at it. That is how they found him , the croc attacked the search boat. Nasty.Ron.
 
They now expect to name cyclone Debbie tomorrow. The way it is intensifying they expect it to be cat 4 with winds up to 200 kph. They are not sure where it will move to so they have put out a cyclone watch for a large area of the north Qld coast. Ron.
 
Nice start to the day, (9-10am)blue sky and sunshine.It's supposed to get up to 14c later.
People will be parading their pale,flabby winter skin in all it's glory hahaha.But not me,I've learned not to trust forecasts.I'll maybe wear a lighter jacket.
The first sign of spring sunshine in this country,and those who really shouldn't,throw caution to the winds.
 
glorious day in Northamptonshire too. Bulbs to put in the garden and a few spuds in the veggie patch I think. Maybe i'll just sit in the sun.

Ron50, stay safe and stay away from 4 meter crocs.
 
Well Debbie has been named and she is big. Just about covers the whole coral sea. They say it will intensify and may even reach cat5 if it moves slowly. The sea temps are around 30c, just perfect for feeding a storm. They have had news coverage of the north Qld coastal towns. Unlike some storms in the past the locals are taking this one very seriously. I hope they are wrong. Ron.
 
Same here,although a bank of fog rolled in from the sea earlier.It only lasted about 15mins before the sun chased it off.
Clocks went forward today, so it will be light until well after 7pm tonight.I just want to cast off my winter garb,then I'll be happy.Might have to wait a wee while longer for that though.
 
They have evacuated large areas of low beachfront from cairns down to near Townsville and most of the offshore islands. The ports in the area are all closed and the airports will probably shut tonight. The state government has moved thousands of emergency personal into the area and a lot of emergency equipment like generators ect. The storm is expected to be upgraded overnight to cat 3 and by the time it reaches land on Tuesday morning it is expected to be cat 4 or higher with winds around 230 kph with possible gusts up to 280 kph. The storm is expected to reach shore just in time to coincide with the highest tides of the year and because of its size there may be a tidal surge of two meters of more. Everyone in the area is hoping that things do not reach the worst case scenario and there is minimal damage. The sugar cane is nearly due for harvest and sugar and banana farmers are expecting heavy losses. Ron.
 
Hang in there and have ample supplies of fuel for your generator, and supplies to get through the storm. Around here the power can be unreliable due to the long distances the lines are in these rural parts west of Lake Superior.
Today its gentle by comparison, gray with a little bit of freezing rain. We still have plenty of snow on the ground but we are entering spring which is better known as fire season. Its all part of life around here out in the Boreal.
