MARYROSE02 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Sunshine, blue skies, flowers blossoming everywhere, including my favourite - jasmine - but in Pommie land, on the cusp of an eight month autumn/winter, a wet bank holiday ending a miserable summer.

Que Sera Sera Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We are having a typical British Bank Holiday weather here in Perth today , rain rain and more rain. I'm saying nothing on the grounds I might jinx it and delay the coming of Spring :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicF Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 No sorry, that article must be wrong. We have been told several times on here that this summer in the UK has been wonderful with blue skies, sunshine and high temperatures pretty much permanently.

benthomas010 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 But England manages to look gorgeous no matter what the weather is like. All that rain keeps it lovely and green. Green grass their may be.. but green grass under grey skies isn't gorgeous in anyones eyes. The summer has been a typical one for the UK. A week of hot weather every now and then. But aside from that spring / autumn ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 No sorry, that article must be wrong. We have been told several times on here that this summer in the UK has been wonderful with blue skies, sunshine and high temperatures pretty much permanently. Only in Stratford! I'll be honest and say it has been a dismal summer in Central Scotland, a complete contract to the last two (or maybe I just couldn't see the rain through my rose tints ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachy Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Been absolutely heaving it down in Brisbane this afternoon. Still warm enough for shorts and T-shirt though. Don't mind the rain too much - garden desperately needs the water and gives me an excuse to sit inside and read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shak Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Are you still bothered with that nausea Shak or do you feel better now?

HelensvaleHoward Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We went for a walk at 11am today Dipped our feet in the water and just strolled along minding our own business Called in and had Cod and chips with a lovely side salad sat on a bench and watched the kids playing on the sand and in the ocean The weather forecast was saying rain all day but it was beautiful The weather forecastors are the same in both country's I have noticed (never right lol) As I'm typing this now the rain is pouring it down which is how the weather normally is here Dry during the day and wet on an evening even storms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacaranda Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I don't think the weather has been too bad here actually MR2?I was in Oz for part of summer,and we've had quite a lot of really nice days.Ok not scorching,but early-mid 20's is plenty warm enough for me.I don't pay too much attention to weather tbh.Some people seem to be fixated on it for sure!

starlight7 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Have to say it has been cold down in Melbourne today. Lots of pretty flowers and blossom around ,though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Im dreading the summer here! You just have to stay in during the heat of the day, and then head to the beach in the late arvo, or early morning if you like getting up early. Look on the bright side, Shak. It's only going to last for eight months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 I've just come back from Bronte, left it late today, after five pm so the sun was behind the beach. The water actually felt warmer, and according to the surf lifesaving club board, was 18 degrees, 20 degrees air temperature. Beautiful evening too with a full moon and lots of people still BBQ-ing as i left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockinTas Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It was quite cold here today and very windy with the clouds scudding across the sky. We went for a walk this evening and the wind has dropped so it's far more pleasant now. Bright moonlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
