This weather is driving me nuts. I do love to see a good storm but I also love to see the lovely sunshine afterwards!

Is it just NSW whos getting hammered at the moment or is it Australia wide??

On the bright-side, I didn't need to top up the pool . Know what you mean though - solid week of it - warming up for the weekend though.

We're not having storms but we have had constant grey and wet since Sunday. Not sure I've seen the sun at all. Whoever is in charge, please could we have the rain and storms at night and sun during the day. Many thanks in anticipation.

Send it over my way. We had 35C a couple of days ago, and its sunny here all the time. A bit of rain might get my grass to look a bit less dead!

Raining here, looks like were set for about a week of it, but its only drizzle by qld standards, not the torrential stuff of summer. Its fab to still be cool (24) in November, if it gets too hot too early summer seems like hell by april

Oh for a week of drizzle - please send it here! I think we must be in a rain shadow or something. We had a downpour the other night with a month's worth of rain in one hit but we do need the constant drizzle for a while.

Don't complain, some years ago it was not unusual for it to throw it down for 2 weeks at a time.

Just a pause in the showers for the cricket tomorrow would be good.

Less than 25 overs and I get some drinking money back.
