How's your weather today?

I think you should try sleeping in, maybe your luck will change Ike! PS, what is Ike short for? The name, obviously, not you, you giant! Lolol. Big people--so wasteful dontcha know, not environmentally friendly like short peeps. Lolol. You take up so much space, require too much food....On the other hand, you could provide a lot of compost eventually!

Sniff.....sniff.....bad mouthing giants, that really hurt me Shali, and just when I was beginning to like you. :)
 
Clear, breezy and 51 deg at 2:48 a.m.........there must be something to this El Nino thing, 51 deg. is unheard of for a overnight low at this time of the year.
 
40+ c that's over the old 100f don't like the really hot weather,we have ducted evaporative air conditioner. We are in a fairly dry part of Aust so rarely have humid weather unlike parts of New South Wales,and Queensland which is very humid in summer
 
Going to be around 60 here today. Really nice for December. I'm a summer person, so I say bring it on. I hate snow and ice and shoveling. How about you?
 
Mid 20s, around 4-5 inches of fresh snow on the ground since last night, over what was already there on the grassy areas. Still light snow and blustery winds. :winter1:
 
Sydney was hit by two successive super cell thunderstorm cells today and one developed into a tornado.
The damage was severe in the suburbs south of the harbour and close to the ocean.
I stayed home because hail was predicted and although we had a lot of strong wind, we are undamaged where I live.

Emergency services are very busy right now.

After 6 days of sun and few clouds, we've got some dark clouds mixed in with sun. Temp is down to 29C. :D Thunderstorms possible, so not too sure we want to go out in the kayak. I don't mind some warm rain but really don't want to get hit by lightning.

Missed this. Glad you are okay, Warri. Not sure the area my hubby's cousin lives in, but I think I'll check in with him on FB.
 
It was a bit wild and wooly yesterday and a lot of damage was inflicted but the emergency crews are hard at work today clearing up and restoring power and sewerage to affected suburbs.

This photo shows the sky over Sydney as the supercell thunderstorm was about to let loose.

And this is what it dropped

The wind was so strong that the rain was horizontal and it ripped off whole roofs complete with solar cell arrays and parked cars had their windows smashed by debris. It would have been deadly to have been outside in that lot.

Sudden flooding caused traffic chaos and problems for pedestrians too.

Mildest December since records began here! usually very cold at this time of year, yet we have a few clematis flowers blooming plus carnations and primroses, no need for woolly jumpers or log fires ( which I like)
