Toots Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) No breeze, cloudless sky and 23C. Here in Devonport we have had nearly 5 months of warm, sunny days. We have had a few days of drizzle and a couple of days of wind and rain but otherwise a lovely long, warm summer.

Sandgroper Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hey guys love the updates we hope to retire to tas one day but keep safe bit of bad weather on the way https://amp.themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/tasmania-severe-weather-warning-for-tasmania/news-story/7c814ea0755b2461dd57b0a1ce4272c9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yes, woken at 4.30 this morning by a howling gale in Hobart. Wind has died down but now pouring with rain - after 30C yesterday. Really need the rain - it's been very dry down here over summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was such a lovely afternoon yesterday but the weather changed overnight. Thunder and lightning, wind and rain. Just got in from seeing to the horses and goat. I was a bit worried about them during the night but they are all grazing happily. Would have preferred to come home out of the rain but took Harry the pooch for a long run along the beach. Lots of seagulls for him to chase and I actually enjoyed it. Quite exhilarating in the wind and rain. The sea was a bit rough and that's putting it mildly. As you say Skani, it's been a long dry summer and it's lovely to get the rain. Wish we could send it to SW Victoria where bushfires are burning - some are out of control and residents of some towns are being urged to evacuate.

libbye Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Oh what a glorioous photo. So lush and green. Never knock rain ins Aus it's a precious commodity. Can just imagine how beautiful it will all look when the rain stops. We've had rain for weeks now and everyone is saying enough is enough. Just hope the sun comes out in the next 3 weeks when my daughter arrives from Melbourne. not only the weather are people complaining about but we're about to enter into a period of strikes.

Toots Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Heavy showers on and off all day and strong gusty wind. 13C. When I heard it was only going to be that temp I thought Brrrrrrr but I'm not finding it cold at all. Haven't had need of a heater so far as it's not cold in the house.

Toots Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 It's a much better day today. At least the wind has dropped a fair bit. Massive waves at the mouth of the river yesterday which brought out all the local surfers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've already dissauded the Mr from retiring to the Huon Valley, my preference is for further North - Launceston way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Launceston is warmer in the summer and colder in the winter than the north west coast. I've seen a flurry of snow in Devonport which lasted about 5 minutes. Two other places I find a lot colder than Devonport in the winter are Sheffield and Deloraine - anywhere inland really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Launceston City Park (the one with the monkeys) is lovely in the autumn. Did you go there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
