God that's hot!


38 here....and my air con isn't working too well.....even my ipad is overheating. Not sure if that's because of the actual temperature or because it's on it's way out

Let me guess, relaxing by the pool again

Alfresco

Nice and cool here today. 26 degrees and low humidity.

Cool and wet in Melbourne then....

Melbourne's eastern suburbs have been hardest hit by a sudden severe downpour, with the State Emergency Service (SES) receiving more than 500 calls for help.
The rain brought temperatures down by about 10 degrees Celsius in some parts of the city from about 2:00pm (AEDT). Duty Forecaster at the BOM Rob Dickson said about 10 millimetres of rain fell in about 10 minutes, with the eastern suburbs bearing the brunt. "It has knocked the edge of the temperature as it's gone through with our gauge in the city falling from around 36 degrees ... to 26," Mr Dickson said.

and not really the best time to go skydiving

Fourteen skydivers jumping tandem got caught in the storm off St Kilda beach.
"There's about five or six sky divers barrelling down to the ground, they were out of control," an onlooker said.
"One was just in the water, next minute, his pole came down and smashed him out."
Two of the parachutists had to be rescued from the water at St Kilda beach and five others needed treatment after the incident.

Melbournes saving its heat for when I arrive

Its only had what? 3 hot days so far.

Most accurate weather forecast guaranteed is 44 for a week as my removal truck arrives.

Watch week around feb 14.

Molly Coddle

Yeah about 4 or 5 days, they were Bloody hot though Jad!

Where do you get your weather information from, which source?

old.sparkles

BOM has records you can check - National Weather and Warnings

I do suspect that the forecast will be based around Murphy's Law though

I know and have been there in way hotter than the days recently. I dont cope well

BOM gives a lot of stats on weather, you can put in bom observations Melbourne February 2014 for eg, and it brings up the entire month.

Heres one - February ( horrible hot month ) 2014 brisvegas, SC would be cooler.
http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/20...9.201402.shtml

However I reckon their temps are on the low side, official but still low side.

I know round here, we are mins from the beach, all temps will show much higher on the car, home thermometer, business displays than the official one.

Daily just use something like weatherzone if I want a quick check. Bom also gives the storm warnings or fire warnings down south. Bushfires not really a problem here, summer temps are generally only a few degrees either side of 30 and come with a high rainfall, often coming down in minutes! We are lush and green all year, but get cool nights in winter, days 22ish.

We have lived in melb briefly before, (plus several yearly visits), when first arrived, moved to QLD for work, GC, Brisvegas, and SC.

It would be nice to all be in melbourne. We assume partner will eventually pick up projects there, certainly not easy thought given his experience Still 3 lined up in brisbane, melbourne nil.

I love melbs winter weather, but it can generally shove jan, feb and half of march. Plus any bits when the flies arrive

Molly Coddle

Thanks....... Yeah it's anyone's guessing game especially here in Melbourne.

I believe you have heavy rain now , floods predicted?...



Thanks. It's absolutely peeing it down here at the moment, dull grey and dismal, just like in England. In fact I feel very at home. Lol

Pollyana

Love those days here, Falling asleep after night shift hearing the rain on the roof....heavenly!

However I would like a wee bit of sun in Tassie for the next few days

Molly Coddle

It's funny you should say that, I never thought I'd appreciate a rainy day, it's a lovely temperature here too and the smell of rain, I love it!


Well, not sure about Tassie but it's given 4 days of cloud and rain here in Melb, mind you that means nothing, it could be red hot and 42 degrees by 5 O, Clock today...
