We finally got rain, but an absolute downpour! It was flooding out back of house and I’m out there barefoot clearing leaves and debris away from drains!
Too much rain after no rain for ages, not good, lots of flash flooding in other suburbs.
Now weather has cooled which is a positive. It’s almost start of Autumn in about 3 days.
Be interesting to see how this winter goes.

Almost like Melbourne weather in Perth at the moment.

Very unusual February here.

36 degrees yesterday then 29 forecast with a bit of rain and a few thunderstorms today then 36 again tomorrow... and 26 for Saturday and 25 for Sunday at this stage.

The 'cooler' weather is great today even though the humidity is a bit high as you would expect.

* Edit: Updated forecast - now 33 tomorrow, not 36. Cool

Oh god! That was so difficult to cope with at 5 pm tonight, we all dressed up ready to go out to our yearly high school class reunion, BOOM, like hell opened up its floodwater gates! And hailed!
We got into work clothes and unblocked drains, spoutings, but the water was way too fast and filled our shed with muddy water!
Our power points were not working, kept tripping out.
So I couldn’t use hair dryer and my hair went crappy.
So we cleaned up, got dressed and went out an hour later.
Came home early to sort the power point fiasco out (fridge, phone charger etc)
We isolated the problem to be at one end of the house, so turned off power to that area on circuit board.
Safety switch now stays on.
Tomorrow we find out where the actual problem was.
And clean muddy water out of shed!
So over these extreme bouts of weather Angry

Wow!
First of all, I’m stunned by how much flooding is happening up in NT.
Second, this helicopter rescue is amazing! That helicopter driver is incredible!
This will go viral … I love it! Two people and their dog rescued.
Watch the video. This is not the entire vid … it’s only showing part rescue, one of the helicopter guys going back into car to get the dog.

River rose quickly but only went to just above minor flood levels. Burnett River in B'berg was higher. Rocky should have had some flooding this week.

Equinox on 21st March - only one week to go. That means it's astronomical Spring for the northern hemisphere - warmer weather - but it's Autumn for us - you call it fall.
