For the first time in 10 years, the September gales did not arrive in August. It was a very calm month wind wise around me and I suspect for most of victoria.
September gales may be back, they are known to all farmers and fishos but most city dwellers dont remember the wind year to year.
Did you notice August?
I think you're right Mick, apart from one or two very windy days I do remember most of August was quite a gentle month, with some really nice weather on quite a few occasions. Blowing a hooley up here today though!
