They don't make global warming like this very often, those sky people.  22 degrees on the first day of July.  Time for the beach!

Already?  11ºC here.

First of June is usually sunny in Perth, just like first of December it usually rains.  The first of July is very rarely this warm and clear-skied as this, as far as I remember the last few decades. 

Rainfall has been apparently the highest June in five years according to some report somewhere.  This is like the icecream after a good month's hard rainfall.

Very warm day here in QLD as well, last night was almost hot  ;) ;)

That must be such a rare occurance, honourable comrade.  A warm day in Queensland?  That's worth sharing, my frucking oath, mate.  How warm exactly is Mackay this afternoon if you're not on that DST yet?

OKay, fair enough.  Thanks for reducing the thread to a pointless level with the Queensland aspect.  I am sure that localised global warming for a good outcome has no place in your party's agenda this month, so I apologise for mentioning that damned reality in a place like this.  Queensland is the best thing that ever frucking happened to Perth!

Fair call, Don.  I was sorry even before I ranted the second time.  I wanted to celebrate the exceptional sunny clear weather in Perth today, which is why I made a specific point about Perth, itself.  I am not the only member who saw the sky here this morning.

Queensland is also occasionally known to enjoy good weather one day, and beautiful the next.  Today was beautiful by Perth's July 1 standards,  I was targetting Sandgropers, but I can understand now that the members here just want to argue anything, and don't care about reality.  I am glad you had a nice day in some other place too.

It ok I wasn’t starting a fight, we have had cold weather last few weeks and last few days been rainy too. Weather changed today and we went out to enjoy it. Excellent sunny day. :)

Gonna piss down in Perth tomorrow, apparently.

There's a 90% chance of getting 20 - 40 mm.

Nice  :)

Melbourne and Geelong both down to 2 degrees C tonight.

I feel like Scott of the Antarctic.

Indeed.  I got the 2017-18 sheets washed and hung out in the sun yesterday, all fresh and ready for the 2019-20 fin' year.  Solar Power!

Try drying a week's laundry on a day like this one.  I just did.  This is the correct government policy for July in Perth today.  Wind is good from the north  this next couple of days ... full of icicles but still over 20 kts.  Solar power is more efficacious technology than wind.  I forecast clean, dry clobber for Wednesday.

2C here - -4 or -5 in mornings

Spot

The good thing about the country versus the city is that when it rains in the country, it's over in ten minutes.  Maybe it comes back in an hour or less, but it only lasts another ten minutes.  There is still plenty of time in the country day to get things done without getting soaked.

In the city, when it rains, it rains all day.  Must be to do with the population.

Australian Crawl Lyrics
"Reckless"

Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and spray
I see the others reading, standing
As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay

Hear the captain blow his whistle
So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very happy way to start the day

She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x]

So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so

Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
Base camp too far away
A Russian sub beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels initials in the tree

She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x]

So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless

She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x]

So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless

Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless

Not quite frost this morning buy very cold.

Outside Geelong which is only 66km in a straight line from the center of Melbourne.
It's as though Antarctic air is blowing straight on Victoria.
The media aren't reporting it.
It's freezing nearly every morning.
Cars are covered in thick ice.
When you put water on to remove it -
it immediately freezes again.
Many mornings have had thick fog & Melbourne airport was closed due to fog on many mornings.


Where is the global warming that Al Gore & Monk promised us?

Haha!  It was broadcast 'live' on Sunday, in Perth anyway.  Great show that.  I hope we get the repeats here in a week or two.

Best throw down your guns.

While reading, standing after coming back to this thread I see the rain has returned to Perth. Had a 5 minute shower here in Rivervale about 20 minutes ago. :)

Been pretty reasonable today - partly cloudy, windy and a bit cold but no rain since last night.

I was trying to make friends with you, Bobby.  All I wrote was that we had the broadcast of Al Gore's movie plot here in Perth on Sunday, and I wrote it, I posted it, and I read it to make sure it was posted, then I read it again to be most definitely certain, most definately, y'unnerstand, liar?

You see, Robert, this is not about what I write so much as you imagine I might think, and that scares you, because I am not placeble in any of your usual baskets.  I do not support the 'liberal' aka marketable Turnbullesque conservative obsequious sellout to the ladies policy, nor am I some Bernardi fanatic either, so you think that should make me a frucking gay lefty, right?

No sir.  You can't understand me because you can't imagine a life that does not fit inside the baskets of your usual cases.  All you can think is that I must be some kind of basket case, so you call in the military.

There is one thing I just worked out by watching the uncut version of Forrest Gump for the twentyt-sixth time is that military is a waste of taxpayers' money.  We have nukes now, so all the death since 1945 is just collateral damage in the name of politics; lies.

Now we have a war on truth. 

I would like to be a consciencious objector to this latest schoolyard game, but I've played this game before, and I don't think there will be any winners in the Darwinian sense of the word if this world gets its intelligence from a place like this. 

Lying is a signal to God that this planet needs a new boss in the food chain.  That's all I have to say about that.

I would never do that.  To call you a liar is a very serious charge.  You are the alleged moderator of this innocuous subforum, and so the responsibiity is yours, pretender.  If you want me to believe that you did not delete that meaningless post I puiblished a few hours ago, then you tell me who did, but don't waste my frucking time.  Who deleted my friendly post because they may or may not have liked what I wrote; that doesn't matter; but they did it not because of what I wrote but because they want me to die.

I am a peaceful man, so if I can accommodate the yearnings of another, then that is the first choice of all my options.  Dying on a web forum is not fatal.

it could be a forum software glitch.

Some comments don't make it until a few more comments are posted....  he's not necessarily lying you know!  :D

Well, finally a fine day in Perth. Quite cold though.

Hey, Greg, do you get fed up with aircraft noise where you live in Vic Park? Had them going over in Rivervale nearly all day Wednesday from 10 in the morning until about 8 at night.

They took a break yesterday (returned to the main runway which we can still hear but it is nowhere near as bad)) now they're back flying over us again this morning.

We only get them when they use the shorter cross runway which they seem to like using on most Fridays for some reason and also during times when strong westerlies are blowing - like Wednesday.

Well, the third runway project has my approval because it'll be built further away from Belmont/Rivervale to the east of the existing main runway then they might be able to shut down the cross runway (except for emergencies) which puts the planes right over us.

Actually, I agree with a letter to our local paper a month or so back which said the entire Perth Airport should have been moved east of the Darling Range decades ago.

Quite chilly: about 4 degrees this morning, when I was on my way to work.

With the planes, they don't really bother me that much.

I haven't noticed any lately.

A while back, they were flying directly over my place on the weekends, when they were doing maintenance to the main runway.

I haven't heard any for a few months now, though.

I can imagine they'd get annoying if you had them overhead every day.
