The Ongoing Weather Thread – Storms, Drought, Climate!!!
THE ONGOING WEATHER THREAD – STORMS, DROUGHT, CLIMATE!!!
See today has been a strange day with mega halestones near Brisbane and another tornado, whilst Victoria and Tasmania have snow whilst in the mountains in another part of Victoria there is major bush fire.
Wonder why it was the English that talked about the weather all the time and not the Aussies... .

It's been very windy here today and we had a really heavy downpour this morning.
Set off for school at 8am and the lady next door took pity on me and gave me a lift up as it was belting it down, she never stopped talking about the weather in the UK all the way there

At least though they did predict correctly and warned people as it could have been worse.
