Yeah best day of the year here by a distance, 14.7C with hazy sunshine and a light breeze, a few degrees higher and it wouldn't feel out of place during the Summer. I'm stuck indoors working all day but great to get some good sunshine all the same

The story of my meteorological life :rolleyes:

Tropical Outback Queensland 1pm local time on Saturday

28c, blue skies & breezy

Glorious day in the outback, the monsoon trough has broken here - it is at that time of the year now where we might not see a drop of rain until next November possibly even as late as January. Of course the trough might come back for one last blast but its getting very late in the season for here (far inland tropics). Coastal Queensland is still getting rain but can get rain all year round. The coastal North can get rain until June.

28c at the moment but the apparent temperature is 24c on account of the low humidity of 30% and the wind gusting to 28kmph. Pure blue sky, a real dry season day.


This is how Australia calculates the apparent temperature

I used to use the conversions back home, hope you find it useful
Notice how a 23/24c summers day in Ireland with humidity 60 - 70% can feel more like 26c+ i.e same relative feeling as the day here now. Here today feels just like a good summers day back home.

ps alpine snow in Tasmania and the Snowy Mountains around Victoria and Canberra areas

Beautiful morning currently 12.5˚c, blue skies and light wind (also got back online)

Using Cumulus Wild Bill, if its compatible with your station its easy to set up and if you sign up to wunderground you can upload your data to the web - all very easy if you want to give a go:D

Temp now 14.8C; (a 3 degree rise in 25 minutes!) - expecting the easterly-supported sea -breezes to kick in around 11.30 am.

In calm conditions on warm sunny days in Summer it can take the sea-breeze till 1pm to reach this far inland; so we tend to get a "double peak" maximum in calm sunny weather between April and July; roughly at 1pm and 4pm.

Now all I need is three months of cloudless, calm weather to harden up on these observations.

That's not much to ask for, is it?
