Try living in Melbourne Mac, one minute it's sunny and no wind, next minute it's blowing 100I and raining!. Not unusual to get gusts of 120k. When I first visited here from qld chasing my missus, I went to the shop for a walk with shorts and a t shirt on, by the time I got 5 mins up the road it was pouring rain and had dropped 10c, I had to buy a jumper at the shop cause I was freezing :laughing-rolling: . 39cheer tomorrow :shock: . Least in qld I knew it would be hot core summer and would get used to it lol. Good luck all the WA peps, hope it's not to bad for you. Gonna be a hot summer crow, just hope to God there's not another black Saturday.

Yeh, Adelaide is getting belted today.

Do these weather bastards with all their expensive kit realise they are playing havoc with my booze washes?

Just coming into wet season in the top end. :happy-partydance:

Time for cane-toad golf! :D

Has been hitting 41 deg and 90% humidity. I love sweating at 10 pm after getting out of the shower....

I think our local weather man smokes bulk drugs though. Trying to predict a build up in next to impossible.

It's the only hard forecast for the year though!

The rest of the time you would be doing well to fuck it up. It's either hot and dry or hot and wet!

Too true mate. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I remember one night shift (mid April), temp hit 16 deg. We sat around like idiots, shivering and bitching about the freezing weather... :laughing-rolling:

I had to cycle home from work in that wind - thankfully was behind for much of the way - i coulda put wings on the bike and flew home :teasing-tease: :laughing-rolling:
Was a couple moments tho i nearly got blown off (and not in the good way)

Then when i got home the internet was down - checked ISP site on the phone and the Telstra exchange had lost power :(

It's only 15km from home to work.
On non rainy/windy days after work i'll sometimes crank out a few extra km then head home - like ride to the beach, take a few pics then ride home and show the missus :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
That's 40km.
