We've got that today, bitterly cold, windy and rolling showers, rained all night. At the moment the sun is out with blue sky, but it was raining 30 minutes ago. Sitting at 9.6 (49 f), feels like 2.6 (36 f) as I type, and it hasn't reached the forecast 11 (52 f).

Currently 10c fells like 2.6 as well i saw it going over your way i can handle the cold/rain but the hi winds scare me BUT it wasn't bad at all.

Last September/October the house nearly lifted off the concrete posts.
That was really really bad i was ready to leave to be honest and stay in town at a hotel.
 
I complain, mainly because I spend so much time outdoors, but I'd sooner take winter over summer. You can always put another layer on in winter, but there is no escaping heat, especially humidity.

Yes! I'm a outdoors person but not on your level we have mostly grass and when it's wet and damp and a heap of wallabies shit around you got to be careful, and when summer comes it all drys out and get's dusty. I'm a spring and autumn type weather.

August is a none cleaner car moth because of pine pollen YES some are ours but other trees around drop, then we have the bloody wrens that blue little bastard can shit for months on a refection luckily my car and mum's are garaged but dad's/ visitors are a free for all.

Maybe that little devil bird 🐦 might just have a .177cal coming his way,
YES they are cute BUT very stressful.

Same here, almost. We hit almost 18 (64), but with a feels like of 9 (48). The winds were gusting up to 72km/h, with mostly clear skies it was quite nice if you could find a spot in the sun, out of the breeze. Solar panels generated 24kwh today, which is about the max for winter.

Never had to brush sunshine off my car or leave home early to get somewhere on time because it was too sunny out Snow and I have a hate-hate relationship lol. True about layers though. I'd rather shiver a little than be swamping for hour after hour. We just had 3 days in a row at 93°-95°F. Which, BTW, is the stupidest measurement system we use. Like who the hell said one day "Yes, 32° is freezing, not 0°. And water will boil at 212°F. Not a degree less."

Stupid.

Picked up this little tidbit the other day, the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet up at -40 degrees, it was from a story being told by an ex-CIA guy who worked in the US Embassy in Moscow back in the day, where it hit -40 one winter.

Easy ROT for us "standard" luddites is 2C + 30 = F. While its accuracy greatly declines at outer ranges it's good enough for government work for the temp ranges common to most humans. The actual formula is 1.8C+32=F but the ROT gets you pretty close.

As the saying goes, there's an app for that. PSX_20250626_132727.jpg

It comes in very handy, covers a lot of conversions.PSX_20250626_132822.jpg
