Actually it is in the 40's and suppose to reach almost 50 today. And so now the ground is well saturated so trees will start blowing down..good times ahead, let me tell you!
 
So glad that everyone survived the cold. It's warmed up here quite a bit and calling for rain later today. I do like the snow but the driveway was a sheet of ice so glad to see it melting.
 

TICA: It's warmed up here quite a bit. I do like the snow but the driveway was a sheet of ice so glad to see it melting.


Glad to hear that TICA and hope it's that way for everyone. We had severe thunder storm & flood warnings 'til 3 today, but nothing happened. Very overcast and damp, but mild temps here.
 
It appears that the monsoon is forming in the North and that Darwin might see a cyclone in the next little while.

Heard on the news that the far North coast has good rain (over five inches) overnight.
 
Too nice (but we are enjoying it) and, therefore too dry. Talking not only drought now but big time fire danger, too. ANNNNND there's some asshole arsonist loose in San Jose!
 
Hey TG......
We know what that's like.....
our local cops are out in force with this stinking hot weather keeping a lookout for
the many serial offending firebugs around town......complete waste of their time as these guys never get punished
enough for these shocking crimes.....:what:

Just checked our local fire authority website, which I do several times daily this time of the year,
and there was a grass fire about 5 kms (3 miles) from our town.....under control now but who
knows what will happen with these hot northerly winds....it's always a worry.:upset:

Right. It doesn't take much to whip it into a raging inferno.

What is it with Californicate and arsonists....Did anyone check to see if the former fire captain arsonist bug John Leonard Orr is still in prison?

Beautiful here today...a spring teaser, but heading south well below freezing overnight temperatures starting tomorrow night. So much for spring.
 
I'm sweating. We're expecting 99F today where I live but paradoxically it's much worse further south.
South Australia and Victoria are expecting several days with above century temperatures.
Canberra is expecting 106F today
 
It's still H-O-T here....today we're heading for 41C (105.8F)
Yesterday we reached 47C (116.6)......the hottest day I've ever experienced.....:notfair:


No change until late Friday or early Saturday then we'll be back to mid 20sC.....:woohoo1:

Warrigal, your extreme heat is making the news here. Even though you're expecting 100+ temps for several days, I still hope something changes and you get a break:)

Actually, the heat is not all that extreme. It is the height of Summer after all. What is becoming apparent is that the number of days of extreme heat is on the increase. When we have prolonged heat waves we then have more problems with fires.

NSW had ours early in the season, W Australia has just experienced very serious fires and S Australia and Victoria are bracing for theirs. Our SES personnel are being stretched to the limit but they have saved a lot of homes and warning systems are improving all the time. Lives are being saved because of good management practices by the relevant authorities.

However, respite in the form of generally lower temperatures is still about three months off.
