A real temperature difference between north and south of Tassie at the moment. Whilst us northerners are sweltering in 30 degrees, Hobart folks have a chilly 17 degrees with the sea breeze
Very warm already in the north and east of Tassie. Friendly Beaches on the East Coast already 31 degrees before 10.00 am. Don't often see those sort of temperatures so early in Tassie.
The weather is so dull (but great summer weather) here that I'm looking elsewhere for interesting things. The latest ACCESS G has an intense LOW (cyclone?) passing over Brisbane New Year's Day then it's remnants drift down over NSW.
Not much happening for Victoria and Tasmania over the next week or so. No heat either. Models speculating a cyclone may form in the Kimberly or NT between Christmas and New Year.
Unbelievably sad tragedy in Devonport today caused by a freak gust of wind. If you look at the observations from Devonport Airport nearby at 10 am the conditions were benign. http://www.bom.gov.au/places/tas/east-c ... t-airport/
