Brissie on XMAS Morning

Well, put the AC on in the XMAS Dinner lounge awaiting the arrival of the hordes & guess what - down came the rain.

It wasn't expected (by me) until late this afternoon.

So, AC off, doors open & ceiling fans on.

Is it too early for a XMAS tipple?

When I was much much younger I would start the XMAS morning with a scotch in bed. Helped to dull the hangover (I used to tell myself).

MERRY XMAS ALL

edit ... Update .... by lunch time it had fined up to beautiful blue sky & mild temp. A great day AC or not.

Here in Tropical Cairns, its hot & humid mornings and afternoon thunderstorms and rain. Wet Season is building up, so expect heavy rainfall in a few weeks.

Cupie · Guru

Since XMAS day the weather here in Brissy has been fab.

The nights are pleasant and the outside temp in the middle of the day not too hot. Just enough to take advantage of the good rain of the last few days and keep the garden growing.

My water tanks are full and the grass is no longer brown & crunchy. It's more like spring than our spring was this year.

More rain on the way, which is good.

We feel for those in the southern states suffering from the current heatwave & catastrophic bush fires.

Meanwhile the Polies play their stupid bloody games with Volunteer special payments. Unbelievable!

Very hot and windy here at Greens Lake . Temp is 45 deg

Kaid · Guru

Lovely and cool here again at Greens Lake

Mid North Coast NSW.

A bit wet off and on.

Tony Bev · Guru

At the other Green Lake

Green Hill Lake near Ararat Victoria, it is also cold

We will have a top of 16ºC today, but the breeze makes it feel colder

Just a little breezy at the moment in Townsville.

A gust of wind of 26kph just slammed a door downstairs a little while ago. No rain since last night (6.5mm in the gauge from 7am yesterday). Is a bit humid though (70%).

Radar · Guru

Uralla up in the New England area of NSW.

Absolutely beautiful 24degs at 5.00pm, may drop to 12degs overnight.

Port Elliot SA.

Howling, cold wind straight off the southern ocean here right now.

Overcast, but rain not expected.

14 degrees in the van so I've just turned the heater on.

Supposed to get back to high 20s next week.

Cupie · Guru

Close to perfect here in Brisvegas.

Clear blue skies with just a hint of breeze. 23.6 degrees .. can you beat that? Max expected 32.

Grass green still from all the recent rain. Tanks are full & the vege garden blooming.

What am I doing sitting around the suburbs rather than enjoying it all out bush somewhere beside a watercourse cooking up a breakfast of B&E over an open fire.

Tony Bev · Guru

Bunbury WA,

Very nice here, about 24ºC, and expecting a max of 30ºC, a bit windy at the moment about 25 kph

Hi BW

To answer this question

Where do you find the little bubble key , for Degs.C.

You have to use a keyboard, hold down the ALT key, and then type in 167 (from the side and not the top number keys) then let go of the ALT key to get º

It is known as ASCII code

It probably will not work with phone/tablet/iphone/small laptop without numbered side keypad

Hope that this info is useful

Thanks Tony , sounds dangerous , I might live without the little bubble , whilst I live in a little bubble .

Well buggar me .. it worked º see . ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange !!!

.Takes me back to when I used to sometimes maintain teleprinters and all that sort of stuff - eg. model 15, model 100 & Sagem. Training courses where we had to strip them right down & re-assemble them over a 3 week period. Also had to name all the parts like eg. 'Pull Bar Bail Plunger Adjusting Screw Lock Nut'. It was only 60 years ago & I recall that it was coloured Purple (of course) on the very modern overhead transparency.

-3 this morning and a top of 6 here at Grindelwald, Tassie today

Cupie · Guru

Bugger me ... I just can't imagine being in a caravan in the conditions of the previous couple of posts.

Here in Brissy it was 9 to 22 ... no wind or rain.

Tropical down pour in the middle of summer ... that's OK but cold & wet no way.

Wizardofoz · Guru

Wet and quite cool in Port Douglas, at best 24 degrees today.

msg · Guru

Never noticed minus here in Canberra. Nice toasty warm bed. Got up this morning, sun shining brightly, not a cloud in the sky. Calm as. Just like the winter days we used to have. Beautiful.

Sandyfreckle · Veteran Member

At the moment we have a down grade cyclone swinging past the very South West corner. Still dark outside - winter right ! Wind is howling but quite warm. There's been quite a bit of rain. We had something similar cross the S/W corner about a month ago.
In fact there's been quite a few 'low cells' make it down here for the last 6 or 8 months. It's a La Nina thing. Warm water in the Northern Indian Ocean sending complex low pressure systems down our north west coast. Very, very rare that they make it down this far though. A few night's ago there was a line of brass monkeys outside my door..., looking for a welder !

Typical beautiful winter's day here in Brissy.

14 degrees max predicted 20, blue sky with a slight breeze.

So it's window washing today for me .. Bit of a wet task to reach the outside of the top story windows. No job for a windy day like yesterday.

It would be perfect to be out in the van beside a nice bit of water, billy boiling & the camp oven sitting nearby, ready for tonight's cook up.
