Yes, I've had wind for days now.  :disapp:
Big gusts, lots of precipitation, local flooding, etc.
It must be Adelaide's turn by now?  :undecided:

Well, we finally had some lightning last night. I watched it, as I had been temporarily blocked from the forum. However, no thunder, what a bummer. Rained most of today, but during a break, I cleaned the solar panels, then rinsed with rain again.  :happydance:

I've been watching that system all week, waiting for the lightning & thunder. Would you believe it splits and passes both North & South most of the time. Not happy Jan, we get plenty of rain though.  :fum:

Down here at Batemans Bay on the NSW South Coast, due to the East Coast Low we got a real hammering last 24 hours, 70 ML of rain, 100 km/ winds, got a bit of water in through the front windows which face the sea.  The seas were up to 8 metres of the coast.  Too bad for fishing and golfing. :(

Worse still the paper truck with my morning delivery Daily Telegraph from Sydney could not get through due to flooding on Princes Hwy at Albion Park, but at least the Dan Murphy's truck with my wine supply got through. :P Another 4 dozen Hardys, Wolf Blass and Lindemans for my stocks.  Lubberly Jubberly. :P

I buy on line from Dan Murphys, no store down here. :'(

Les I got that same storm at Narooma, then at about 7am got a blackout. & as i'm going up to Sydney for a few days & was still no power latter in afternoon, I desided to go up Milton, to Cousins farm for the night. then the fuel light comes on & local servo has no power to run the pumps  :rofl: so drove up to Bodella to put some fuel in ( just enough to get to Sydney ) the weather still bad here at Milton too. but was a long time between drinks had forgot last time it rained.
cheers

Weathers great here Sunny & warm & DS starts in two weeks ( love it! ) my thoughts are with West Aussies & those in Queensland
does this mean our friends in GB put there pushes away till the weather warms up?

 i woke up and it was 17oC, he did say it would also start getting cold in england very soon...

i think the humidity plays a part too, like it rain's a lot in GB so i'd expect humidity would be high?
when i was out in central west was 45c but low humidity as not much rain so was dry heat, all you had to do to cool off was get under a tree. but in Sydney 45c & high humidity felt far worse, get under a tree and you still felt hot as about 80 yo 90% humidity. air quality much better with low humidity. that's why i like it down here 35c is about as hot as it gets down here & was 30c yesterday but always got a sea breeze.

Good your getting rain Dazz!
 
Was no rain here for over a month then we got some good fall's now it's green, Sydney needs Rain badly too by look of it when i was up there other day

yesturday was 30c here & felt hot to me, today was about 26c but strong winds but the wind was warm thats why though it was a westerly also seemed to me coming from that direction
it was great out on the pushy with a tail wind, but in opposite direction was a lot of work ( puff puff )
