Winter weather in Summer again today in Sydney Cold and wet outside

Weather looking nice today, would much rather be going to the beach for a swim instead of heading into 8 hours of work in mad retail on Christmas Eve.

Looks like a nice day, sunny and 27 c, going to spend some time at a friends pool who are away at the moment.

Hot and 32 here today.

The pool was nice although spent half and hour picking out leaves. Feeding the friends cats also and usually the cats are very aloof but the older one was very affectionate and was like a shadow following me around the house, think it also appreciated the lounge room door being opened where it was getting a nice breeze through. It was nice bonding with this cat.

Cloudy but some sun but wind has come up, was 24 c when I left home but now spending a few hours at friends place who are away and it's nice in the pool atm.

It’s much cooler here today and feels more like late September than January.

Best thunderstorm Sydney has had in years, even with the shutters pulled the room is lighting up like a Christmas tree every time there is a lightning flash.

It certainly was a cracker I sat ina pub watching it all unfold Cracking day today I’m on the beach getting some afternoon summer sun as I type this

Pretty hot here but then it always gets hot around Australia Day and then through the whole of February. It’s amazing how quickly the landscape starts going brown and dry once the heat of Summer starts, despite all the rain we had throughout Winter and Spring. I swear we only have two seasons in Canberra these days - winter and summer.

Couple of rumbles of distant thunder and a few very light spots of rain when i left work around 3.50 pm this afternoon but sun back out now.

Only 8 degrees here today. Our first snowfall of winter expected next week but I won’t hold my breath.

Florida is calling the following week. Can’t wait for some tropical winter weather. Looks like mid 20’s and clear. Woohoo!

Yesterday afternoon sitting at Wobby shores looking back to towards Brooklyn and west up the Hawkesbury valley watching one of the most amazing electrical storms enveloping Sydney and surrounds was amazing, then the rain on the roof when it got closer, just such a priceless experience.

Lovely area Horrie. If you were at little Wobby, straight across the river at the entrance to Cowan Creek is Refuge Bay. I’m sure you know it. I used to love dropping anchor there and climbing up the rocks to the waterfall and standing under it. Very refreshing!

Was ust a bit further up the shore opposite Dangar Island but have done Refuge Bay and the waterfall when our friends have taken the boat out different times we have stayed. Out going tide yesterday afternoon/ evening with the storm had all these big jelly fish being washed down from the upper reaches.
