44.2C!!!! Gosh! I am glad my ancestors were forced to leave Ireland for dull New Brunswick, Canada instead of Oz... no offense... except the offensive heat.

sIx : "hue of industrial grey". Excellent imagery. Huge difference between our cities, only a hundred kms apart. We have had light snow - big flakes - falling gently all day, cleansing the air.

Mid-thirties F. (hovering around 0 C.) for some days now, and it'll continue. Rain, sometimes mixed with enough snow to make the roads slick. Winds up 45 mph. Bright blue today, though -- lovely. Partly cloudy the rest of the week, the high dropping into the high 20s (F) later in the week.

Today is the 24th day in a row of rain....I know this is the wet coast, but by gawd its beginning to get depressing.....could be worse I guess......it could be 24 continuous days of snow and be piled up tp three metres like some parts of Japan right now....but then....things aren't dreary in the snow, are they?

We've had some rather hot, humid days this week, but this afternoon it was relieved by a weak cool change and right now some thunderstorms are going through - it's all rather pleasant after the heat. It's still very humid though.

It has been unseasonably warm in North Carolina, USA. Stuff is breaking dormancy that is going to get slammed. While we have had some hard frosts--we really have not had any winter weather yet. If we don't get a good spell of at least chilly weather, I don't think the tulips and daffodils will bloom much this spring. ('course, we still have the rest of January and all of February to go.)

This is pretty much the view from my boss's office: clicky. (You can click on individual frames, or choose a day to get a time-lapse movie.) Too much blue sky. ('Cept right this minute of course, when it's pretty black!) Lately it's cooled off a bit, that time of year when there's a 35 degree (F) variation between the low and high of the day. We might get a sprinkle this weekend, but mostly it's interminable blue skies...

Hot, dry and windy conditions causing very high to extreme fire danger in sydney today. 38 degrees in the west of sydney today. Bushfires in four states.

Luckily tonight it has cooled down - a cool wind has come up. I went into the back garden tonight and soaked the ferns, lilies and trees with cool water, listening to Chris Kempster's CD and the latest Fagans - fantastic.

And it's only spring! I fear it's gonna be a long hot summer here.

We've already had some weird weather in the last few weeks. Kangaroo Valley festival in September was under water, then we had heatwave conditions, then last Sunday a freak southerly that blew in while I was at another festival (Coastfest in Gosford). The temperature dropped 10-15 degrees in minutes, half the stalls blew away or were too damaged to stay open, a set of stage lights crashed down, fortunately missing the performer, all the tarps over tents blew down, including mine - I finished up with some very bent poles. Now this week the last three days have been increasingly hot, with another dramatic cool change tonight. I wonder what it's going to throw at us next?

It is beautiful mid-fall here. Just a tad on the dry side, Sunny, absolutely clear blue skies, just enough wind to make the trees talk. Temps relatively cool for us, high in upper 60'sF and a frost advisory tonight--the first of the season. The atmosphere is so clear that the stars seem to sanp, crackle and pop at night.

My front garden is popping with color--bright orange tithonia "Torch" stands about 7 feet tall. In front of it tall, willowy salvias in deep blue and sky blue. Then, a dahlia-that absolutely saturated red that only red dahlias acheive--nods over a large drift of single-apricot chrysanthemums. In just a place or two, common montbretia sends a stalk up through the mums, echoing the tithonia.

The hummingbirds are gone now, dispite the bounty. They've hightailed it to Mexico in advance of killing frosts. We have a couple of hives of bees. They are frantically at work among the flowers, as if they know the time of bloom is drawing to an end. Goldfinches perch on echinecea and verbena gone to seed. Cardinals join the goldfinches in going after tithonia heads that have gone to seed. Their red feathers in amongst the orange flowers is a real eye catcher.

Fall is nearly always an absolutely lovely weather season here.

Joybell and Freda--hope this year's warm weather season is not as dry as you fear.

Peace.

I just got back from the Highlands, and have had a weekend of the most beautiful weather you could hope for. Warm sunny days, warm enough that people went swimming in the Loch (we were the sking area!), and absolutly clear nights, to see the stars by, well away from the city lights.

There was just enough crispness in the air to remind you that it's autumn, and to make the apples taste right, but still early enough we could pick wild bilberries and bluberries. The trees are just strating to turn up there, so it will a week or two down here yet....

Up until about a week ago it had been very hot & dry. Dams at record low levels, everything dry as a chip, just waitiing for a fire, in fact we had a few minor ones around about the state, but about a week ago it started raining, light steady drizzle; perfect. Today it's sunny again. Everything will be growing lush and moist again. For a while.

So far, this is the mildest fall and and early winter I remember in my 20 years in North Carolina. We have had a few chilly days and a handful of nights when the temps dropped into the mid-twenties, but only the tenderest of the plants in my garden have gone completely dormant. I even cut grass today.

usualy we should have at least half a meter of snow at this time of year but it seems as if we have got it all last year for both years.
Sun is shining, a little frost during the night, the fields are still green and only the mountains are white on top(about 25km away).   

No need of snow for me, I prefer winter to go on like this.
We're expecting rain for the next week.
