here in the Harbour City in the Land of Aus, we've had a cool spell. Howling winds dropping trees left, right & centre all day - 3pm I noticed d a City of Sydney SES (State Emergency service) truck rushing to Hyde Park to pull a tree off some folks who were sheltering, they (only) had minor injuries. pictures dunno why those idiots were outside on the ferry in high water

From days with nasty humidity last night was so cold (in comparison to Northern Hemisphere cold) that the light woollen shawl I occasionally use over my sheet in a normal Sydney summer (fan is on all night) was not enough. Last night I added my warmer wooly shawl - also not enough, so I threw it off & added a folded over medium woollen blanket. The wind howled all day & night

Today's forecast. 26C (= 78F) Cloudy. High chance of showers. Winds south to southeasterly 25 to 40 km/h decreasing to 20 to 30 km/h in the late evening. Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing.
