Humid and hot

32 C - no breeze. Another day of heavy smoke haze. Dirty, hard to breathe air. The sky is one enormous sheet of slate grey.

So while it's eerily quiet here... to the North two very large cyclones are coming over the Coast.

Wind speeds in one are estimated at 280 km (or about 170 m/ph) and a state of emergency has been placed over the region. The media are saying it's the biggest evacuation since the 1970's... but that's a bit misleading bc there are more people in that region now so well, that's not a record that's going to be hard to break.. Media! :rolleyes:

Still both cyclones are intense. The Bureau of Meteorology has suggested that only houses made of solid concrete will stand up to the cyclonic winds. I've been through a couple of cyclones. It's scary but the sheer magnitude of nature's strength is strangely hypnotic too.. Weird in other words.

Bright, hot, sunny 32 C. Dry, dry... droughty dry. No rain clouds. A little bit of humidity.. WHERE is our Autumn rain?

 

[blackemerald1]

Oh golly it's raining!! :) :) Lots of storms floating around after a hot, humid 30 C day.

Now finally the storms that we were promised have turned around and unleashed on top of my house.

Happy dance, happy, happy dance...

Maybe this is a break in the drought... I can see the lightening out West.. I hope they don't go away. Not yet..

Well the rain lasted about half an hour.. and fizzled. Replaced by sharp gusts of wind that rattled the whole house..and rocked all of the big trees around me and made them roar.. Then the wind fizzled out too and it was cool and quiet.

Today was a lovely crisp Autumn day 26 C. A slight breeze and clear blue sky.

But wait... snow is being forecast in some mountain areas.. Yay! Cool weather :)

Beautiful sunny day, 24 C blue sky, not one cloud. Crisp breeze. :)

29 C but about 8 C overnight. Beautiful sunny day. Hot enough for bushfires to start...

Cool change rocked up late this afternoon so now it's low teens and windy. But still no rain. Maybe tomorrow. :rolleyes:

It was 70 degrees yesterday. Today is expected to reach about 60 degrees. Much nicer weather than we had been having.

It rained many different ways today. It sprinkled, drizzled, lightly rained, rain rained, poured, down poured etc. etc. Now it's back to sprinkling and 34F. (It was an awesome lazy rainy day!!)
