JockinTas Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Supposed to reach 19C here today but I doubt if it will. The wind is blowing off the Bass Strait and it's currently (at noon) 17C and sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith and Linda Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Put our first blanket of the season on today here in Brisbane, just thrown it over a couple of times last week.

Skani Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Another beautiful autumn day here in Devonport. 20C. Ditto here in Hobart: still, sunny...and a perfect temperature for stacking firewood without breaking into a sweat. :wubclub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JockinTas Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 It rained heavily overnight and we've had showers on and off in the morning. The sun is shining now and it's 19C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's perfect for me. I notice a few folk in our street have their log burners going at night now but we haven't found it cold at all. Some people just feel the cold more I guess.

JockinTas Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Bloody snowing here! Ffs it's nearly May!! Bring on the Tassie climate! I was talking to a friend in Cumbria and they also had a good dump of snow the other day. Our lovely weather came to an end on Thursday night. It rained without stopping until this morning. I will say this for Tassie though, it doesn't rain for days on end. It pours down for a day or two then clears up and back to sunny weather again. We are supposed to have showers on and off for a few days now. How are your Tassie plans going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pours down for a day or two then clears up and back to sunny weather again. We could do with rain for days on end at the moment - it's so DRY here! A measly 6 mm in my rain gauge over the last 2 days. According to the Soil Dryness Index we need 6+ inches of rain to saturate the soil here.

My neighbour says we had 20 mm from Thursday night 'til 9:30 this morning. http://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/3879791/rain-a-welcome-sight-for-north-west/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Yes, tomorrow looks promising for this part of the state. I hope it rains all day: I have so much housework to do and these beautiful sunny autumn days make it so hard to stay inside. So the house is a bit of a disaster zone. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JockinTas Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 OK, I'll be honest. Today's weather is awful. Dark grey sky keeps rolling in off the Bass Strait bringing in very heavy rainfalls and the wind is blowing. Managed to get out with our dog in between the heavy showers for an hour earlier on but got drenched when we stopped to check the horses. Was making sure their feed was still dry and trying to divide up a bale of hay when it started to thunder and there was also sheet lightning fairly close by. It's 16C not cold at all and still haven't got any heating on in the house but I think this will be the start of colder weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that sound like a great day, I love a good storm, and Tassie in winter FAB, a few crisp frosty mornings and if you are in the right place a chance, just a small chance of snow, oh yeah.

Skani Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 It was delicious waking up to the sound of real rain on the roof - it's been a long time since I've heard that. 16 mm in the gauge when I checked earlier on...and pelting down at the moment. Can imagine the farmers dancing around for joy....it's been so, so dry down here. We've just had the warmest April in 120 years of records and only the odd drop of mizzling rain until now.

We wanted to move Sept this year before my daughter started school but realistically when we thought about it we need another years savings to set us up when we get there....so... Sept 2017 is the plan....but I'll need to come over before that to activate my visa. Thinking of June as flight are relatively cheap.

I dream of a house with a large window looking out to sea....where I can sit and watch those fierce storms from the comfort and warmth of an armchair in front of the fire! ( old before my time?! Lol!) Also looking forward to the good weather too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
