The Weather Thread

Another miserable wet day here Good sleeping weather though

[Vasco]

Yeah Saturday and Sunday were good here and i thought Spring is in the air but it changed yesterday (Monday ), cold wet and single figure temps in some suburbs at noon. Today, not to bad. patchy rain on and off but quite a bit of blue sky too.

Looks like you're getting pounded again today.

I just spent the weekend in Sydney listening to all my friends complain about the rain. It was beautiful for the time I was there.

Cold , miserable and wet in Sydney today and suppose to be like it for the rest of the week, over it considering Saturday just gone and yesterday were like early Spring had sprung.

Nah. Sorry. I love rugging up and dressing daggy, but the cold is no good for my health.

I doesn’t please everyone but I would rather it be cold than hot. Much easier to warm up than it is to cool down.

Love the cold! Allows me to dress daggy for a change.

So the frosty mornings returned last night after a few days reprieve. Apparently it’s been the coldest June in Canberra since some year in the 60’s. I think it was 63.

Beautiful sunny winters day here on the Gold Coast Currently about 20 degrees on the beach

Looking forward to eventually moving back here

Cold start to the morning but turned into a beautiful sunny day of 22 c. Rain predicted for tomorrow.

[Andrew Walker]

The nights have been cold but the days beautiful, decided to get out earlier and do 15 km on the exercise bike at Allianz then a few stretches in the indoor pool, then went to Azure in the EQ and ran into John Longmire the former Swans coach and had had a chat to him and got introduced to Tom Harley then had a nice salad for lunch, Oh Andy it's great being semi retired

Oh Horrie I’m honoured you are even thinking of me with that hectic semi retired schedule of yours and rubbing shoulders with the shakers and movers over at Allianz


Beautiful sunny winters day here today

Beautiful winters' day here. Going to do some work in the garden and veggie patch. Then have lunch, crack open a bottle of red, read my book and then prepare for the game!

Quite a bit of rain coming this week. We need it.

Thank you for letting me know that MR, I’ve been considering changing our ducted gas to RC electric with the same scheme, but I have heard from a few others about similar problems that you have, plus it’s still an 11k cost.

I still love my gas heating, and it’s so quick to warm up, and never goes into “defrost” mode.

think we will update our fireplace instead, our old one is pretty inefficient, but love turning it on to watch those flames dance.

was also considering changing from gas stove to induction, but only reason for that would be so it’s easier cleaning for the wife, and again, mixed reviews about induction stoves.

Yep I miss the gas so much. It probably had a few more years left in it but the old evap cooler is 22 years old and had required lots or replacement parts the past 3 summers. It seemed like a good deal to take out the loan and replace both with the new allegedly more efficient RC electric. I’m not sure it was worth it now and this freezing cold snap hasn’t helped me get used to the idea either. And it’s only June. The two coldest months haven’t even started yet.
