You're about the first person to say that. At the time I don't think anyone on WZ noticed the two directly above in the northern hemisphere. No-one seemed interested. I thought it was amazing enough to spend a fortune recharging my mobile for data.



Probably lack of funding.

What a disaster of a wet season for February, currently dry old weipa is smoking the whole north tropical coast with 791mm for the month, maybe weipa will get the golden gumboot. What the heck is going on no decent rain in the foreseeable future im going to have to start watering my trees.

And we had another 26mm late yesterday afternoon.

Getting just just enough to avoid watering, mostly. Everything is green but I'm not going broke paying for the yard to be mowed.

Followed by a hot night too , you sure it's February, feels like November.
Seems like this week could be the same

Off to join some hoses



Cheers

A Gecko shorted out our A/C a couple of weeks back, We decided the hot stuff was over and would
wait on getting a replacement, Never had it before moving into this place and only used it at night,
But with nothing in sight of a wet season I may just have to bite the bullet and head to kans to
buy a replacement.


It's cracked 40° on our verandah again today.


Cheers

Indeed Scott, and nothing on the long range models either.
This seems appropriate

How bizzare indeed...!!

The long range charts show this nasty weather continuing for the next fortnight...at least you have some cloud cover 28...its pretty clear, hot, still and brutal down here..

I have the mini sprinklers on the roof as well so along with the heat we have a humid, greenhouse like efect...if I was a bamboo plant I'd be growing 5 metres a day...

I guess if I had the choice It would be this over the rainfall down south right now...

Dunoon which is 20 minutes north of Lismore measured 775mm in the past 24 hrs and many other places 500mm plus around there..

No wonder the Richmond River is a full 2m higher then ever previously recorded.....Having lived there through a couple of floods, its just mind boggling to put 2 more metres on top of what people thought couldnt go any higher then in 54 and 74.....(the height of which is marked on many of the power poles as a reminder)...

Do you guys think out wet is done for...? or will we get a late run at it..?

Evacuated from Chinderah caravan park.
Went south down M1 and was horrific flooding. Stopped at Ballina service centre.
The M1 closed at border as Tweed river in major flood
People left from Ballina to get over border and 70 km from Ballina were turned around. Km cues of trucks stuck
No entry into towns either side of highway .”
Lucky to get accomodation in Ballina.
Murwillumbah has had 1000mm in 30 hrs
River broke levee and evacuation centres everywhere
21 towns under evacuation order
Landslides Gwydir hwy
Talllebudgera areas underwater the lake broke its banks

8deaths so far but 400 people unaccounted for in Lismore.
More rain and storms tonight
A low is forming off the coast to be an ECL mid NSW coast and Sydney tomorrow.

Many business closed due to no staff.
No food or hot drinks at Ballina service centre
Woolworths closed central Ballina

Full time media coverage on TV currently

Expecting rain band to drift south tomorrow morning.

9mm last 24 hours.

Teasing us again with rumbles and even a flash or 2 out the back but they are not getting to the coast here.
Can not believe I'm watering in February, and all our rain is in the south.

I've always noticed that we get less with the la nina but this is ridiculous..

So it's either going to be a drought or a long wet winter..


Cheers



:Update: It's trying to rain, but mostly breaking up and only getting a light shower.
but it is cooling, and oh boy that's nice. Lump of pork in the BBQ and a few
xxxx very nice.


Cheers
