Well it looks like Australia is back to summer again .
Last weekend the mercury crept up to 43c on saturday and 44c on sunday on the back verandah
We got a bit of relief on monday with a front coming through and dropping to around 35-36c for the rest of the week and we even got a shower yesterday evening dropping 10mm

well typical cool Gympie weather is 35-36C and for the past month almost every day has been well above that with one day being 42C. My top orchid houses have recorded above 44C on 10 occassions and the best was 48C the other day. For the first time ever I have heat burn on some of the orchids. Almost no rain has been recorded by us in this period either with a total of about 5mm. So hot most rain is evapourating before it reaches the ground.

It has been a good week -water wise at least
we had 24mm one day 20mm the next and 55mm yesterday up to 10am this morning
More rain than we have seen for a long time
Just need it to keep it up for a week or so then regularly throughout the year

Default Boxing Day temp

It is a balmy 0 degrees C here this morning. Better than the minus 15 we had a few days ago. I hear that it is a bit colder in Ottawa and more snow there.

A little above 0C here in Toronto this morning, and raining steadily. I surely don't miss the snow, but I wish the sun would come out!

It was reading 11 C on the truck garage along the road, which may have been an actual 9? We had sunshine and blue skies yesterday. Coldest so far has been about -4 overnight.

Default Yass weather

christmas morning it started to rain and lasted 2 days with about 100mm falling. The best rain in 5 or 6 years. Christmas eve the temp was 37, christmas day was 19 and boxing day was 17.It was extremely dry for this time of the year as some of the water in the dams and creeks was very low. Looks like you got some good rain too Andrew.

Max
