In Melbourne, it's been absolutely whack recently. Super hot, then super rainy. Yesterday the storms were intense; all of my relevant trains and trams were cancelled indefinitely.
In saying that, I still prefer it to the heat. Much nicer.
EDIT: It's just started hailing. Blimey.

I love stormy & cold weather - hate hot/humid/summer weather with a passion. Would rather it be 15 degrees and pouring as opposed to 35 degrees and extremely hot. At least with the cold weather you can add layers - unfortunately in the hot weather, removal of layers is limited... :)

I was in that area for athletics and a little while back when that red patch passed over us, it prompted the cancellation of the event.Spoiler(https://i.imgur.com/gLYZhEr.png)
The worst thing was that I was at the start line as the event was cancelled.

The best thing about it is the fact that it's so... Australian. I mean, not only are the crocs and sharks and spiders and snakes and berries trying to kill you, so is the actual sky.

Absolutely abhor Melbourne's unexpected and abnormal sudden change in weather -___-
Sucks to live in Australia just because of the weather :[
Fun fact: When we were trying to lure the British out here post-WW2, one of the selling points was that we had better weather than them. And on balance I probably prefer Melbourne weather to much of the UK (haven't lived there, but have heard the complaints).
Quote
Come over to the sunny side now. Australia, a great place for families, an opportunity for you, fine for your wife, great for your children.
OK, I have a couple of grandparents who migrated from UK to Melbourne back then - I guess I'm not sorry they came :)
To be fair, the ads might not have been focusing on Melbourne specifically:

Yes!!! Mozzies are the epitome of Australian wildlife! After getting back from overseas, they didn't even show me a day of mercy before attacking me. :'(
Sometimes I think they like certain blood types more than others, as I am a usual target.
A little about the weather (not to derail the weather thread ;D) : I feel like mosquitoes are more active in humidity.

Just got back from a fam camping trip to the Snowy Mountains, and it was terrifically balmy! Some of the overnight temps were well below 10 degrees, and some days I even wore a jumper. :o

Sounds great!
Sunburn-wise, though, I'd expect you would get more sunburnt at a higher altitude because there's less atmosphere to block the UV. The rough numbers on Wikipedia suggest you'd be exposed to 20 - 30% more UV up there. Still a great part of the world to visit, though...

That's a hefty increase in UV!
Well, lesson learned, now I know to be more careful at high altitudes. ;D

Melb - outer suburbs are copping it particularly in the NE/E, higher than predicted temps (usually it's always around 1-2 higher than the CBD but this year it's blown out to in some cases 4-5 higher). I actually don't even think the Bureau knew what the temp was gonna be today - they kept shuffling Thurs and Fri's temps around.
Dunno how anybody concentrates in this heat.

Today, I saw a giant army of hailstones bouncing along the ground as they crashed to the earth, as if they were all stones skipping across a large body of water, guided by strong gusts of wind.
Today I left my house for the station, around 6 minutes run away. It wasn't raining at all, and I'd even seen the sun ten minutes before. By the time I reached the station it was hailing and pouring and I was soaking wet. Fortunately I was nearly dry by the time I got to Flinders Street...

Riperoni tomorrow for me though, I hear it'll be 28 or so (which'll feel like 33 for a poor Melbournian like me bc Sydney weather is so different to Melb weather) when I get to Sydney 😅

Still another couple of weeks before I can go swimming in the lake (...or before I should go swimming at least).

First day I wore shorts to work since March or April or something, but it feels like longer.
Whereas I was in Ballarat for the long weekend and it felt really cold in the evenings.

What has been happening with Melbourne's weather this week? From 33 degrees to 14 and raining in the span of four or so days. I can't wait for summer!in the wise words of a certain tortoise I know;
'Wicked (good) = >30 on weekends
Wicked (bad) = >30 on weekdays'

I'd probably flip that - on a weekday I'm in an air-conditioned office, and it can be pleasant walking in the evenings (like tonight). Whereas on a weekend I'm more likely to want to be out walking, and prefer walking in 20 degrees to 30 (that is, if the weather will ever give up on this notion that most rain should fall on weekends...)

I love thunderstorms (when I'm enjoying them by choice not forced to be out in them). Lightening is so pretty.I think rainy days are great on weekends because you don't really have to go anywhere if you don't want to; you can snuggle up or go out and get wet for the fun of it, whereas on weekdays you have to go to school or work so it's more miserable. The storms this weekend in particular have been wonderful, because the rain is cool but the actual air is quite warm.
(Ironic Erutepa and I were gonna go swimming though, haha)

On Saturday the weather for today was supposed to be 50% chance of rain and 1-10ml
On Sunday it predicted it would be 80% chance of rain and 5-15ml and a possible storm
There was some lightning last night, no signs of a storm today and according to the BOM there has been 0.0ml of rain since 9am (...except that's not true because I've seen a few drops).
But it's finally cold for the first time in weeks so I don't really mind.

The weather around Sydney and the outer regions was very weird today. First, it was really hot and sunny in the morning, then suddenly a storm appeared out of nowhere and was quite ferocious. It consisted of lightning, rain and very strong winds! :o
Hopefully all of the weather around the country gets better! ;D
As soon as I walked out of the gym, the wind just took me back. Felt great though, not gonna lie ;D

Yeah, although the weather yesterday was actually quite nice.
yeah for sure, solid 25 degrees where you can actually walk outside and enjoy the weather, unlike today where the sun is just murdering anything underneath it.
Edit: Although I am grateful I'm not in NSW because those bushfires seem crazy. Hope everyone gets safely away from those fires.
R.I.P those two firefighters as well.

I'm a bit sick of temperature records being broken all the time. Not keen to see what January is like given the November & December we've had.
Maybe I can escape to the ocean for a while next month

I've looked up the weather predictions for some areas in rural NSW and there's 50%-80% chance of rain which is great!!
So so tragic that the two firefighters passed away. Hoping the fire services get more funding especially with mid summer approaching very soon.

It was windy. It was cold. In excess of 40 trees fell over roads and 2 rooves blew off. I left home at 5 pm for the first job that came through. I didnt get back home until almost 4am. I have been awake since 6:45 when jobs started coming through again and my pager wouldnt let me nap, i don't regret but its still sucks especially because nowhere was open to get food so all I've eaten in 24 hours is a bowl of cereal and 2 red bulls. Joys of a VICSES vol.Thank you for the amazing help you and all the other SES volunteers provide! Hope you catch up on some well deserved rest once things have calmed down.

But also: ice-cream, literally any cold dessert, sunshine in the parks with an occasional cold breeze, smell of flowers, lots and lots of birds flying, Halloween, Christmas, BOXING DAY, and with a little bit of luck maybe even shopping with your friends at the end of the year!
Ngl, I pretty much only eat ice-cream in winter, because eating ice-cream in summer means leaving the house to go get ice-cream. Sunshine in the park means sunburns (doesn't matter how much sunscreen I lather on - lather being an apt description of how much I apply lol), and honestly have never noticed a smell from flowers? Also unsure why birds is anything other than just a thing. Halloween is this thing that I'm confused why we celebrate and never cared for. Also, boxing day is the literal worst, I have a fear of crowds so large you can't escape, and that's all BD is D:
... I mean, yeah, sorry to royally and completely shut down everything you seem to love about the summer, but this is definitely not one for me.
. Am curious to hear why you enjoy all of these things when I don't, though?Only bonus for me in summer is sitting on the porch with a nice cold beer in hand - but something something y'all too young for that
Post by: turinturambar on September 01, 2020, 08:42:26 pm
But it also just varies from day to day and year to year - I can remember say back to back Australian Opens where one started with four 40+ days, and the next started with what felt like early spring. I just wait to see what we get and make the best of it - because it's not like I can change it...

and honestly have never noticed a smell from flowers? Also unsure why birds is anything other than just a thing.BAHAHA I live in a neighbourhood with a lot of birds and flowers and it's full of nature, so I enjoy seeing new species come and go at different seasons. Also, almost all my neighbours have a lot of flowers in their lawn so it's nice to see some colour whenever I go on walks and come back from school.
Halloween is this thing that I'm confused why we celebrate and never cared for. Also, boxing day is the literal worst, I have a fear of crowds so large you can't escape, and that's all BD is D:I don't like the celebrating part of halloween and I've never celebrated it, but I enjoy seeing decorations out on people's lawns. I realise that I sound like some stalker creep who just sits outside people's houses all day.
To be honest, I do prefer Winter and Autumn climate over Summer, but I like change ahahaha ;D
