sudden heat...

PASSING THOUGHT: Melted into my car this afternoon at the end of the school day. My car gauge adamantly declared 42°C.
Thankfully, by the time I was home on my Mornington Peninsula, the temperature was/is a more bearable 29°C.
Sudden heat and humidity deflate energy fast.

cool summer morning...

Just now risen to 17°C, but cooler earlier on my Mornington Peninsula...Weird how this temperature feels cold in summer...
Some cloud determined to blur the day too...

feels hotter than 25°C at 9:36am...

It's only 25°C in Dromana right now at 9:36am...
But it seems far hotter...
Blame high humidity+yesterday's hot night?...
I'm trying to do more moving preparation, but motivation+energy are so low...
At least my removal guys made a 2nd big pick-up early today...#melbourneweather

gotta love cat logic...

OK, it’s taken over half an hour, but…..I won! He’s in the pantry eating up his food as I speak. A small step for Monty, but a huge step for Margaret. 👍👏👏👏

Absolutely no logic sometimes, but I actually won this round! He’s now, sensibly, having a snooze in…..ta da! …..the pantry! 😂

3rd weather post today...

I know, 3 Melbourne weather posts in one day, but this is crazy...
Warm night...temperature climbed to 33°C this morning...only broken with a burst of thunder and rain...
Now, the temperature mid-afternoon is swinging between 21 and 25°C...PLUS ongoing rounds of blustery winds...

passing weather post...

WARNING - Just another passing weather post:
Last night, an incredibly warm 'no blanket' night in the Dromana Hills....
(So much cool weather in recent days...
This change was a bit of a shock)...
Now, at 7:30am it is already 27°C + rising...
Has summer really appeared at last?

heat hustle ahead...

Amid the pre-Christmas bustle, it looks as if we will also enjoy a heat hustle in Australia...
Fun times ahead...
(And today, in my Dromana world, the temperature has now risen, at 1:00pm, to 33°C.) https://t.co/FHhFx5h0c3

Yes...Just visited the Dromana wilds outside...Earlier this afternoon the temperature was 33°C but now 23°C. Quite a drop.

Watching the Sisters Hills/Rocky Cape bushfire unfold from home I realised that it’s just less than a month since we had snow down to 300m. It’s been a wild ride this spring.
