Pittwater Storm
|
| |
Hi Everyone
This afternoon, a storm that looked like it was going to be nothing much, brought torrential rain to the Pittwater area and "rather interesting wind". The torrential rain missed our street only giving us 8mm in total.
There was minor flooding in Newport and Avalon, many trees down and even more broken off about 2 - 3 metres from the ground and many houses with roof damage. We got home to find minor damage to some of our bonsai plants and our neighbours TV aerial snapped and hanging by the wires.... more »

Not very good shots but......

I never had any kids on when I took these with my phone. For those who are politically correct. I'm not. Not real good but shows in places the wind and dust etc.
The wind was coming from a Westerly direction of course and I was heading north. Every time I opened the door to let the kids out there was a big influx of leaves and straw and dust, sticks etc. The bus looked grouse inside when I got home. NOT.... more »

Due to the very dense dust I think, I only made it to 36.6 here today. As dusty and windy as now though. The temp has dropped back to 32.7 at present. And a 64kmh gust at 4.45pm.

Unseasonably warm here, too!
|

Hello Awesome Aussie Friends:
Well, we in Mena have been unseasonably warm as well--just not to the extent of the current Aussie heatwave.
Our average maximum for very rainy & cool month of October was only 64.6F/18.1C (normal October avg. max. is 73F/22.7C).
Through the first 16 days of November (Nov. 1-16) our avg. max. has been an amazing 69.4F/20.7C! (our normal avg. November max. is 60F/15.5C). If we average a max. of 59.2F/15.1C for the rest of November (14 days), November will actually be warmer than October---something which I don't think has happened here before.... more »
