What's the weather like in your part of Australia

[BrendAn]

Sitting here in the west of Melbourne waiting for the rain to stop. Wondering what the weather is like in other parts of aus. We have a nice summer in Vic. 10deg here ATM.😁

Balmy 18 deg, nice sunny morning in the Perth Hills. Working from home listening to the birds outside.

13 projected here. A bit of height is always cooler. .  Nev

Looking forward to Spring. Went out to put some rubbish in the bin, had to werar 3 pullovers to block the wind. Eleven days till Christmas, need the ducted heating on to get the temp up to 19 deg. Sunglasses and raincoat weather.

Just spent the last week down around Albany. Came dressed for Perth weather. Didn’t realise how much colder Albany would be. 🥶 Still, nothing on the Gippsland temperatures that my daughter is reporting to us.

Longreach Qld..  Has 'cooled' down... Was 40+ last week

33 looks good. hope we get that soon.

[red750]

Ch 7 News tells us we might get 30 by Friday next week. Cold winds, rain (and snow) in between.

[walrus]

6 degrees this morning. As the waterlogged airstrip might dry out soon, i'd better finish the annual next week. We moved a friends C182 last week - we got it unbogged and moved 20 metres before it settled into the mud again 😞

[Carbon Canary]

Fine and sunny in the coathanger city, but much colder than it should be. 

Around 20 - 23C all week.  Still having to wear a coat at night. 

[facthunter]

Minus 5C at Hotham overnight. It's now officially summer.   Nev

[pmccarthy]

Miserably cold and overcast again today. No shed work or flying. Dog is despondent. Wife has gone for morning tea with her mates. Still waiting for the ground to dry out to mow the nature strip.

If it's any comfort, it's no better in the East, it's raining, again 🥺

 

When I was out at YLIL a week ago, it was hard to believe how bad it looks.

I know there are places that have had it worse, but it's copped a beating with the rain, only 1 of 3 runways open and the groundsman is working overtime trying to get the other 2 back to useable condition. This weather isn't helping.

Surely there can't be that much water left up in the sky, 'cause it's all down here 😵 🤣

 

[facthunter]

Having all the place saturated makes the evaporation of the water greater and feeds the cycle.   Nev

On the sub tropical island I have moved to it is just about perfect. 32 deg with a cooling breeze. We get enough rain to keep it green, but not to flood us.

My old home was just about the same. Central Qld is the place to be.

[Old Koreelah]

Here on the bountiful Liverpool Plains the temperature has been varying between early spring 5 degree nights and 33 summer days- with a violent storm every couple of weeks. Our farmers have counted 8 floods this year, some covering whole crops, but just enough dry in between for a good harvest. More rain in a year or so than the previous decade.
 

Flying? If the noise stops, it’s mostly been a choice between a rice padi and chest-high grass.
