Our reservoirs in Devon and Cornwall are at 65% of their capacities, and at least one major reservoir is at just over 40%. That's almost unprecedented in modern times (we've increased capacity considerably since the severe drought years of 1975-76). This time last year we were at 88%. Winter is when our water storage is replenished, but this year the replenishment is faltering severely. In typical years, spring is our driest season.

We've had just half an inch of rain in February so far, and it looks like that will be it for the month as yet another high pressure builds in. We had just a third of an inch in the second half of January. In more normal times we'd expect about six times as much rain as we've had since mid-Jan. The south-west of England (where I am) and East Anglia are still officially in drought, and there are are fears of big trouble if we have a summer like we had last year. We still have a hosepipe ban in Cornwall that started last August, the first in 27 years (and the last one was short-lived).

It's a bit warmish....daytime temps reaching the mid 30s C (I don't know what that is for those of you who still think in old money, you would have to look it up) but nothing we can't handle. Until Christmas the weather was fairly mild, but I'm not complaining about a late start to summer's heat for once.

Storms forecast for the next day or two or three, par for the course for this time of year. Our storm season runs from October to April.

Rain is not bad, providing there is not a surfeit. Storms - not so much so, as they cause damage.

We're having the first typical Brit winter for many years. A bit of this, a bit of that, sometimes wet, sometimes dry, sometimes warm, sometimes cold, and a lot more night frosts than we've had for years. It's very nice and sunny just now with 10°C and frosty nights. We went for a stroll by the sea and we could feel the warmth of the strengthening sun for the first time this year. The vitamin D will have to all come from food for another month.

we've has some really hot & humid days (typical Sydney summer) with rain (typical Sydney summer) in the past few weeks.

During several nasty days I was reading 2 books - both mysteries - one set in Hawaii in 1890s in hot/humid times - US visitor hated it & could barely cope, the other in Italy, August 1960s, when the local detective had to battle similar weather.

I was hoping my next read would be set in winter while I struggled thru hot humid days & nights - tho with an electric fan blowing cool air on me at home, & scurrying between air conditioned trains, buses & buildings, & other air conditioned trains, buses & buildings I was much better off than those fictional characters. I hate humid weather as much as they did!

Sydney has longest spell of days below 30C in 140 years (11 January)
Sydney averages 15 days above 30C per year. The run of sub-30C days is set to continue into mid-January      (& it did)
As most of southern Australia sweats under a prolonged heatwave, Sydney is on the verge of recording its longest spell of days below 30 degrees Celsius in 140 years.
While the weather has definitely at least resembled a version of summer since the pre-Christmas record cold spell, Tuesday's maximum of 26.6 degrees at Observatory Hill marked the 323rd consecutive day under 30C, already the longest stretch in three decades.

The article refers to the offical Sydney CBD weather station on the Harbour, as always Sydney's western suburbs had many days of temperatures over 30. (30C = 84F)

I've got a 1961 shilling, Australian of course, it sits with a few foreign coins I was given in change over the years. Dunno where the shilling came from. It has a Merino ram's head on it cos Australia rode on the sheep's back from 1871 to the 1960s. I wonder if the change to decimal currency in 1966 had anything to do with that!

But I don't have a meter to put it in.

Don't complain too much, Sandra (I know you don't...). When it gets like that here it can stay muddy and miserable for weeks, even in summer. In 2006 I was in Perth, WA, and the weather was generally pretty good. But one day we has a good old Cornish wet and windy blow, with a temperature of 13°C. Misery! The very next day the sun blazed out dawn to dusk and the temperature reached 36°C, and by midday there wasn't a puddle in sight. We absolutely never get that here...

I've never been as wet as I was yesterday - heavy rain & wind as I walked several hundred metres (6" longer than yards) from the bus stop to the Folk Festival pulling my trolley. My Akubra normally shelters my glasses & keeps my face dry - it mainly did, but the rain leaked thru & my forehead & hair were wet! My rain jacket stops above my knees & my mauve Indian hippy dress was soaked, it was obvious I was wearing a black petticoat (also soaked) & of course my sandals were wet & muddy .... quack, quack, squelch, squelch.

Naturally the showground was muddy but the music was wonderful & conversations with friends were fantastic.

There are many different varieties of flowering Prunus trees and they flower at different times, quite a few in mid- to late winter. They're not easy to fool.

The jet stream is having a meridional winter, so it's blowing alternately warm and cold here. When it's mild it's wet. At the moment we have a northerly burst, but it probably won't last. We have a lazy wind (it goes straight through you instead of going round you).

There's been what's been described as an extreme weather event in central and southern Europe. Over the two or three days of the New Year, temperature records for heat have been smashed at hundreds of weather stations. Many Central European countries that we normally regard as frozen wastes in January have been pushing 20°C, and one station in northern Spain has recorded 25°. In their own wintry way, these figures are just as spectacular as the unprecedented extremes of last summer.

Unless it inspires someone, in which case it may become literature. According to legend, an unusually snowy Christmas in Charles Dickens's childhood fed into A Christmas Carol, which contributed greatly to the false folk memory that Christmas "ought to be" snowy.
