A wonderful calm and glorious morning on Kangaroo Island with an expected daytime temperature of 24 degrees. Caught some fabulous scenery on my camera on my early beach walks with 'Mucho Loco' the dog, she loves chasing the seagulls & the tidal waves as they roll in. Gwynnie

Texas Qld 4835 have woken to an awesome day, beautiful blue sky, birds a singing.

Yesterday afternoon a strong breeze was blowing making it a little uncomfortable.

Warm & humid in Townsville!

The days have been reasonably nice but during the evenings, the breezes cease, necessitating the air conditioner to be run. It's supposed to be raining tomorrow, Saturday (Hooray)!! wink

Drizzling on the station. Enough to make it slippery, but not enough to help grow the grass.

Loose yachts wash up against a concrete barrier at the Bunbury Yacht Club, while two people brace against the spray of water.

Loose yachts were tossed against a concrete barrier at the Bunbury Yacht Club.

Yes the weather is not the best in Bunbury at the moment, much the same as Perth, 200 kilometres north of us

Get the umbrellas ready Perth is set for a weekend of wet weather.

Sat 9th June....

A complex storm front on Saturday night and into Sunday will drench the state with up to 50 millimetres of rainfall, possible thunderstorms and gusty winds reaching 90 kilometres per hour.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster James Ashley said the storm front would cause Perth to hit the halfway mark for the average June rainfall of 173 millimetres in just two days.

"We're going to have a pretty rainy period Saturday night until about lunchtime on Sunday," he said.

"About 1:00pm, the wet weather will pass and it will clear up. But between 7:00 tonight and 1:00 tomorrow afternoon, the Perth area is likely to see falls of 20 to 50 millimetres or more with the passage of that system.

"I'd expect coastal parts of the metropolitan area will see winds of up to 80km an hour easing as they get further inland."

Glorious weather here in Brisbane today, with a bit of high cloud and a slight breeze. Temperature is 22 degrees.

Sheffield-er · Senior Member

When it's 7.2 degrees & feels like 2.2 degrees - does that sound like a liveable climate? Only the Great Southern Ocean separates Antarctica from Warrnambool!! You can carry only a limited amount of warm clothing in the van.
I hope our next two grandchildren (twins) hurry up & make an entry so we can head north to "God's Own Country".

Here in Perth, we've woken to a fine day ( at long last ) clear blue skies but still rather cool at only 11.5 C but expecting a top of 19 C

tomorrow ( Friday and Saturday ) promises to be even better, with forecasts of 20 & 21 deg,

but come Sunday, it's back to wet conditions, well it is Winter and we need the rain !!!

Frost blankets central and eastern Australia....

Parts of Queensland experienced their lowest temperature in more than a decade on Tuesday morning as frost blanketed central and eastern Australia.

A combination of clear skies, light winds and a lingering mass of cold air caused temperatures to plummet across the eastern half of Australia during Monday night.

By the early hours of Tuesday, some places were shivering through their coldest morning in years.

In Queensland, Townsville dipped to 6.3 degrees shortly before 7am, making this its coldest start in 10 years. Further south, 3.5 degrees at Ayr was its lowest temperature since 2004.

Ice was also covering the Red Centre as the sun rose this morning, with Alice Springs hitting minus 3.7 degrees for the first time in two years. Across the border in SA, Moomba's minus 0.3 degrees was its first morning below zero in seven years. In western NSW, Tibooburra had its coldest morning in six years after hitting 1.4 degrees.

Melbourne and Canberra tied for the coldest capital city in Australia this morning, both dipping to three degrees. For Melbourne, this was the coldest morning since last winter.

Almost feels like Summer here in Perth, 10 deg at 8.30 am wst, but showers forecast today with a top of 19 deg
