Wet weather spreading across WA...
03/10/2018
Rain and storms will affect the southern half of WA during the next three days as a low pressure system sweeps across the state.
The low will move towards the south near the state's west coast on Wednesday, causing showers and storms develop over the inland Gascoyne and the state's South West Land Division. The low will also cause blustery winds near the coast as it moves south.
The wet and windy weather will arrive in Perth from the afternoon and continue into the evening, before spreading into the state's far southwest on Thursday morning. As of 11am WST on Wednesday, a severe weather warning was in place for damaging winds gusts in and around Perth during Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
This system is likely to bring rain to all of the state's western and southern districts and parts of the east Pilbara, Goldfields, South Interior and Eucla districts between now and Friday.
Parts of the south coast, wheat belt and Goldfields could receive 5-15mm of rain with the passage of this system, with isolated totals above 20mm likely. This could be the heaviest rain in about 7-8 months for parts of the Goldfields.
Take out there People !!!

Bunbury has always been a bit cooler than Perth, KJ
Perhaps because Perth is surrounded by hills
It was warm here yesterday (Friday), but we did not start the aircon
I do know from experience that in the old money, 100ºF in Perth, always seemed hotter than Bunbury at 100ºF
Perth today will be 27ºC while Bunbury will be 25ºC according to BOM, and we are only about 200 kilometres apart
Do you live anywhere near 4 Harvest Terrace, West Perth, by any chance, KJ
I have read a report, (unconfirmed of course), that there is always a lot of hot air, in that area

Had to Google what was at Harvest Terrace, Now I know why it's rather warm at that address.
Thank God we live South of the river, where the Air is nice and clean, although not that way at present,
Smoke from the fires down South has given us a heavy smog and with high humidity, a very unpleasant day.

As I have told Doug today it is rather cold, wet and windy on Kangaroo Island at the moment as the unseasonal weather keeps bringing up the cooler air from Antarctica so I passed on a joke I heard to wile away the hours until the sunshine returns....So here it is......
'One day three men of GOD decide to go out fishing in a boat. The first was a Methodist Pastor, the second a Church of England Minister and the third was a Catholic Priest. Before long the first decided to stretch his legs, so he stepped out of the boat and walked a few steps, then sat back inside the boat again. The second thought to himself, 'If a Methodist Pastor can walk on water , then so can I.' He too stepped out of the boat, walked up and down the length of it then returned back to his seat inside the boat.
The Catholic Priest, not wanting to be outdone by them stepped out of the boat thinking he too could walk on water. However to the Catholic Priest's surprise he sank straight down to the bottom of the bay. Seeing this the Methodist Pastor turned to the Church of England Minister and said, "do you think we should have told him that the sandbar is on our side of the boat???" Ha! Ha! Ha!

the mercury is tipped to reach 43 degrees at Ceduna and 42 degrees at Nullarbor in the state's west. These forecasts are a whopping 16 and 15 degrees above average for this time of year, respectively.

Hello everyone,
We have gone from cold & wet to 'bloody hot & windy' here on Kangaroo Island. The CFS are extremely busy as we speak helping farmers fight bushfires directly in the path of their properties threatening farmhouses, land & livestock alike.
Friends of mine have just sent through some photos of the bushfires blazing in their back paddocks so we are all banning together. There are 'all hands on deck' saving their sheep as the winds pick up and feed the fire front which will hopefully be stopped in time to rescue all~~. Gwynnie

This warning has just appeared on the news....
The Country Fire Service (CFS) has downgraded an emergency warning for an out-of-control bushfire on South Australia's Kangaroo Island.
The Kangaroo Island fire is burning at Gosse, near Mount Taylor Road, about 23 kilometres south-west of Parndana.
The fire is moving in a southerly direction towards South Coast Road near Harriet and Stockdale roads in Vivonne Bay.
It has burned through about 600 hectares of land, including a blue gum plantation, and is generating lots of smoke.
Seven fire trucks are fighting the fire and more crews are on the way from Adelaide.
The C.F.S said there was one large fire and two smaller fires.
"About 40 firefighters are currently working on the fire ground, along with four fire bomber aircraft,

This report posted about 7 hours ago - Fire crews brace for more severe heat as they continue to battle bushfire on Kangaroo Island
The CFS said about 40 local firefighters were still working on the fireground and were being supported by 10 additional fire trucks and 55 firefighters from the mainland. "One hundred firefighters [were] on the ground and we saw some pretty intense fire yesterday as the fire ran through a combination of scrub, grassland and some reasonably old plantation timber," Mr Austin said.

Thanks for a lovely reminder of a white Christmas, Radar. We had one in Ottawa six years ago - it's a completely different life (& a bit chilly)with the bright, sunny days being the coldest. Be careful of black ice!
And it hides the sexes - all look the same from the rear (& front in severe weather) with everyone wearing the same (warm boots, heavy clothing)!
It's a bit different here in Townsville - warm & humid as we prepare to "meet" TC Owen - that came & went, gave us some wonderful rain before heading into the Gulf of Carpentaria & coming back again much stronger than before.

Hey Radar, Lovely photos of the snow and the beautiful old architecture , I was in Helsinki a few years ago on my way to Norway to climb the Jolsenbreene Glacier and can appreciate the photos.
Hi kiwijims, just an update on the fires on Kangaroo Island....There has been a wet & cold extreme weather front hit here over the past three (3) days so all fires are out! The sheep (that were not heat & fire affected) are now wet and miserable in the drenched paddocks. The grain feed that was under threat of being burnt is now too wet to harvest. All farm machinery are now getting bogged down in muddy paddocks! That is weather for you, all we need is a cyclone to complete the picture. Queensland had high temperatures & fires first, then rain and flooding, came next more floods as tropical cyclone Owen turn into a rain depression, I guess another flooding is on the cards. Take care everyone Gwynnie
We have had a nice couple of days, with the sun shining
we are at the Yardie Home stead at Exmouth and for the last three days and forecasters for at least the next 3.
it is blowing 30 to 40 klms
