Transcriber Weather

[Michael]

11C here with winds NxE gusting to 35 kmh. We've had daffodils for ages now, a lot of them are almost finished. Mind you, there are lots of other flowers in bloom to compensate.

Wind is picking up, lights flickering, and lots of sirens. Trees have their leaves now. So they're having a rougher time with the wind.

It turns out the sirens were unrelated to the weather. A school bus was involved in a crash a few blocks up the hill from my house. Fortunately no one was hurt.

The wind has calmed down for now, but supposed to be stronger tomorrow.

It is currently 0.8 degrees, down from 3.7 on the hour. It is pouring rain with large flakes of snow mixed in. Who said Global Warming????? Snow in April?????

Next weeks weather.
I fall in the 15-25mm band. My location is on the coast due west of the 5mm legend line.

I feel sorry for all the Grey Nomads who went North for the winter after an enforced border closures due to covid, there has been loooottts of rain up there in the last month.

The Earth's climate is changing, and the driving forces are changes occurring in the composition of the planet's atmosphere.

At Tasmania's Kennaook/Cape Grim site, the Bureau of Meteorology operates a scientific observatory to measure the composition of some of the world's cleanest air. (It is so clean they actually bottle it.)

The station is on Tasmania's west coast, near the north-west tip — the location chosen because, when conditions are right, the air at Kennaook/Cape Grim has been transported from the vast Southern Ocean, by way of the westerly winds frequently encountered.

I love your map, thank you. It is amazing the sharp contrast in narrow "canyons" where there is rain and then again not.
Sounds like you are in a good place.

The grass keeps growing, so I guess that's enough rain.

Rather a miserable afternoon: 9.1 C ocr wind ESE force 3-5.

Must be nice, says someone who's being living in a place that's had below normal temperatures seeming like forever. A year ago we were in the 20s; now we're lucky to get up to 14.

ANZAC Day today. 0600hrs we will be standing outside with candles remembering the fallen in the wars.
Weather good.
11.4c feels like 11.8c, Fine, 100% humidity, Calm, 1028hPa

[Morgan]

Greetings to Australia and New Zealand on your day of remembrance. Here's to hoping we will someday be to the point where casualties of war are really remembrances, only. Best regards.

[Michael]

Well said, Morgan. Hear hear!

[pommystuart]

I agree.
Thanks for the thoughts.
