Toots Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 We have had heavy showers and it's a bit on the chilly side. It's 11C just now. The kind of day to stay cosy indoors with a good book. Hobart had a huge amount of rain which has resulted in flooding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you weren't too badly affected by the flooding Skani. The storm seems to be heading for the north east coast now. The north west coast had that bad storm a couple of years ago resulting in flooding. Thankfully Devonport escaped the worst of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, thank you, I'm on a hillside and the house didn't have any leaks. But the storm was something else - the worst I've ever seen anywhere. Especially the thunder and lightning which went on for hours last night. That's very unusual for here: thunderstorms are rare and usually over within 20 minutes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul1Perth Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Had a golfing weekend in Margaret River and the weather couldn't have been better. Every time I go there I think should do it more often.

Our summer here on the NW Tassie coast was beautiful. Not too hot. Our hottest day in Devonport was 30C on 11th March. The summer average temp was 25C. It's not dry here now - we've had heavy showers of rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johndoe Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 7C in my garden this morning due to those bitter westerlies that blew yesterday at up to 50k. I hate being rugged up, especially indoors............feck the bill, the reverse cycle will be going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
