Re: Early spring warmth/heat: September 12-?

What a cracking day.

Scary temps for the time of year for Sydney though.

Glad I’m not doing the Marathon tomorrow there - 30 degrees forecast. 😬

Re: Early spring warmth/heat: September 12-?

Light sea breeze has come in bayside. Rather early in the year for sea breezes but welcome

Feels rather humid though.

The wind chill is evil today.

The ride home from work was hell. Hot shower time!

The “cold” outbreaks are really half hearted this year aren’t they.

Back up to 18 degrees again in the city today after yesterday’s “event”…

Someone told me they saw a few flakes of snow in St Kilda earlier amongst the freezing foggy drizzle!

Re: Becoming mild and windy, followed by a showery change: 3-8 August.

I cycle commute daily so this winter has been pretty nice really. Good for those who like to exercise out of doors. Do enjoy the increased sun we’ve had to this winter.

A little boring though admittedly.

Re: Long mid winter mild spell under westerly flow: July 12-

Been a couple of fronts the last week or few which have given me El Niño vibes, little rain, dribs and drabs which wet the ground but don’t really deliver a lot…droughts do sometimes start in an insidious way like this….

Re: Long mid winter mild spell under westerly flow: July 12-

Don’t mind a few days warmth tbh. Breaks up the winter nicely and allows for more comfortable time spent out of doors. Yes, little excitement though!

Re: Two more lows 12-18 April

It does stretch back a long way, both west and north, it’s still raining in Adelaide.

We could be in for quite a drenching.

Very fortunate that few people live there. Imagine the devastation of a Cat 4-5 over a large city!

Re: Two more lows 12-18 April

And the rain keeps coming. 7th day in a row with decent rain for the city, 60mm month to date by tomorrow morning. If the weekend delivers all it promises (and totals this week have been at the upper end of the forecast range) we could be pushing towards 100mm MTD by the end of the weekend - with ha...

Re: A deep low for Easter 2023

Another 15mm overnight. The city must have got under one of the streamers as it seems quite localised looking at the BOM totals.

Total for this event, since Thurs evening is 38.4 mm


77mm in the past 3 weeks.

Can’t remember an Easter weekend in the city being so consistently wet each day!

Re: Vic - arrival of a low pressure system, heralding a period of sultry weather 11-20/12/22

Any chance of a pattern change coming ? Have to say I’m thoroughly sick of being plunged back into winter all the time . It’s the second week of December! And winter began in June!
