We get this weather every winter. There's always a number of days when it's windy / some rain drops / slightly chillier.

Every year brings out the usual chorus who claims it's the coldest winter ever, OMG, and then it's followed with claims it's the hottest summer ever, OMG, when in reality it's same same year to year.

Haha my daughter is there for a week on her way to UK for a couple of months. She's just left a Queensland summer. She's gonna freeze. She did say she'd been to the beach yesterday though.

I absolutely love this weather, wish we had it all year round to be honest!

Very gloomy weather for tourists. I saw loads wandering around the Marina and others in various malls looking totally fed up.

a lot of the rain is due to cloud seeding

IKnowNothing

You believe this?

So why wouldn't it be? The technology has been around for decades. Most of the US ski resorts have been doing it since the 90's to increase the snow yield.

I too have read a few articles stating its due to cloud seeding.

Iknownothing needs something to justify his tin foil hat.

it wasn't said by some dumba** radio dj....it was an interview with a meteorologist and cloud seeding expert from the National Centre of Meteorology & Seismology.

other parts of the Gulf have also been getting rainfall. don't think they are saying it is down to cloud seeding
