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...

physical work in Melbourne humidity...

PASSING THOUGHT: So hard to do any physical work outside in this Melbourne humidity...
Just been sweeping a pathway of never-ending leaf drop (plus damage from rummaging blackbirds)...
I'm wiped...
Such a basic task and I'm reaching for the iced orange-juice...#melbourneweather

just love Melbourne weather comments...

Hey Tropical Australia! This is Melbourne calling. Thank you very much for kindly lending us your weather, but we'd like to give it back now, if that is okay.

— Alan Baxter ♛ (@AlanBixter) January 28, 2022

It is liquid humidity now. Falling in gigantic quantities. Plus internet killing lightning.

We live on the morn pen. I lived in Coffs Harbour 20 yrs ago. The humidity & heavy rain feels like I’m back there.

1st day back at school...

PASSING THOUGHT: It's a night riddled+spattered with cracking whips+booming drums - Melbourne weather style. I'm quite sure a slight tremor was in the mix too on the Mornington Peninsula.
But I'll just keep glowing re surviving 1st back-to-school day...even if it was all PD's...

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

3rd storm of the day...

This is the 3rd storm of the day and it is barely early afternoon...
The weather is certainly acting out a hissy fit today in my world... https://t.co/DDSFv0h22w

What the heck? #CycloneSeth #Melbourne #melbourneweather it just came absolutely out of the blue with big long thunder and absolutely bucketing down in Point Cook. Rest of the world: we are in summer, apparently. pic.twitter.com/ohEEUXTJYG

The Real Afternoon Weather Report...

The Real Afternoon Weather Report...

* A very brief licking of stormy rain and now the humid, summer sun shines.

Aaaah Melbourne, you are a unique soul...
Little wonder I love you...

Melbourne weather prologue to 2022...

Hoping your New Year is a time of steadily and safely moving forward, finding some happiness along the way.
Yes...It was a sweltering New Year's Eve and New Year's Day had just a smidgeon of improvement...
But today we have been blessed with some odd showers of cooling rain...

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) January 1, 2022

New Year's Day views...

PASSING THOUGHT: It's barely 11:00am and already the temperature is 34°C in Dromana.
Whispers of sea mist on the bay and barely a breath of wind...
One lone small yacht...
Notable absence - jet skiers...
Welcome to New Year's Day...

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...

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) December 18, 2021

rising Christmas traffic...

PASSING THOUGHT: Since early hours, the relentless whirr of Mornington Peninsula freeway traffic has been rising...I presume this is Christmas holiday traffic...
I'm going nowhere...I'm vaccinated, but not taking chances...
Suddenly, packing removal boxes is most appealing... pic.twitter.com/2rZnWfZLCs

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) December 17, 2021

AAAHHH...The weather gods must take centre stage to spice up the Christmas season...
Not only is there a rising whirr of freeway traffic, but now we have the sounds of looming thunder accompanied by bursts of rain...
For an added bonus, we even have cycling sounds of sirens... pic.twitter.com/kkWVi7OE1q

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?

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) December 17, 2021

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

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) December 13, 2021

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

snow in November?...

My soul place has so much character...
It's spring nearly summer, but snow wants a cameo role...
No snow on my Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, but at 8:30am, it's just 8°C...with some fragile, intermittent sunlight... https://t.co/UbFqlum9DU

It was a pretty cold night for #Tasmania. Preliminary data suggests a few Nov minimum temperature records have been broken, and also some late season min temp records too. As for #Hobart, 2.9°C at 5:39 am was the coldest Nov temp since 1953... 68y ago! https://t.co/76eq0GQiga

Melbourne weather...

I am rugged up in a hoodie waiting for a dinner delivery, marvelling at the endless cold and misty rain coming down outside, jazzed up with some bursts of wind...Yes...Melbourne is unique...I do love the character of Melbourne...Lots of character...💕😀💕
