Well the thunder storms didn't materialise so low 30s today, that didn't give me a pass, still under orders to paint the front of the house.  Day off tomorrow - probs pee down.

It hasn't reached freezing where we are but went to visit friends the other day in Sheffield (inland) and it was bitterly cold there.  Cold but sunny here.  We had anther storm last weekend.  It started at about 4 pm and lasted all night.  No damage done and this time the electricity didn't go off.  Real Tassie wintertime.  Supposed to reach 9C here today.

A bit too hot. It was lovely this morning but no breeze means it's getting very warm this arvo.

[Bulya 2,863]

Ridiculously warm for August.  19 again tomorrow and the rest of the week 

[simmo 21,948]

Beautiful blue skies and 30 degrees today.

I have a meeting at 3pm and after that Im going to have a walk along the river and pop in to pub for a nice refreshing pint.

Forecast to hit 30 here in Hunter today then down to 19 tomorrow 

The vines are springing into life again which is a great sight

I have a mate and family on holiday in Skiathos currently. They're not having a good time, very unseasonable weather.

a nice comfortable mid/low 20s this week.  Much nicer that last week (low 30s).  I was at a wedding on saturday and it made me realise that I could never live in a hot country again.

Low 20s for me.  Maybe a wee bit warmer as long as it's not humid.

Same here.  Saturday was very humid.  Most people at the wedding were dressed for autumn.  I had a nice new suit but opted for a linen shirt and trousers.  My days of worrying about dress codes are over.  I had to be careful not to outshine the bride though. You know what women can be like

Going to Windsor north of Sydney on the weekend and they’ve forecast 34 for Saturday.  34 in September!!

It's 19 here today and very pleasant.  34 at this time of the year doesn't bode well for the summer.  Thinking bushfires.

You were probably the only comfortably dressed person at the wedding.   Linen is great in hot weather   ............. it can get a bit wrinkly but feels cool.

Beautiful in Melbourne today. 

22 degrees early Spring. Lovely walking the dog in the park.

This summer maybe a bit crispy.

Yeah the ABC are ramping up the fear factor again. Climate change started all the bush fires in Vic the other day ya know - not, as in the case of at least 3 in one locality that I know of, the numpties who started the regular preventive back burn being take by surprise by the wind change. It's all about driving up our fear levels then we will be so much easier to control. Notice how the weather maps are getting redder and redder (worse than my crochet temperature blanket!) - it's all to scare us.

Back to normal then.  The last couple of summers here were a bit cooler but dry.

Supposed to be over 30 in Sydney today and here we'll be lucky if it reaches 15.

What, by reporting an announcement from the BOM?

The same announcement that multiple other news agencies are reporting?

Got nice new Infrared heaters for the man cave and kitchen and haven't been able to use them yet.
