My pregnant cousin's house has been flooded out in GIRU.

My Aunt and her family are moping up their entertainment areas in AYR.

Half my bloody family up in Noth Queensland has been flooded out! LOL Thanks for the rain... But if that was distributed between the rest of Australia there would be a good chance the drought would break! lol

Meanwhile in Brisbane It's cooled down a bit at night. ^_^ I've gotten a top sheet out again.

Wow, LightSaber... I didn't realise there was flooding in Queensland - I have only seen the fires on telly here!

I better make sure I try and send some of this predicted rain to RIGHT bits of Oz!

Went for a ride early this morning - it was only 12.8 degrees (! in the middle of summer?).. had the arm-warmers on and I was still cold. But now it's starting to hot up - getting uncomfortable... it's going to be one of those days when you wear 4 different sets of clothes between sunrise and bedtime.

got out for my ride early this morning... it was so nice to see something other than 1000 miles of blue sky and sun. there are some clouds, dont think we'll get any rain, but at least it wasnt just burning sun... and it was cool - 18 degrees... funny how that feels cool now

Fark..It's been hot today..Can i whinge about Perth weather.

What is going on??? One week it's hot-ok around 35+, next one it's only around 28c, etc etc..

We're in the midst of a heatwave-well it made it to 42C...I thought my eyes were melting when I went outside this afternoon...
It's just cooling down now at 9pm...29C. If you take a look at the temps http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW60...01.94609.shtml, it shows that over the past 24hrs it's cooled down a tad but not a huge amt!!!

I am really looking forward to a sticky, hot bike ride at 5am tomorrow..

bummer crazy, things have cooled down a bit in canberra. the weekend was hot, and mon was stinky, humid semi-hot, but yesterday... oh there is a god... 23 degrees was our max! and on the ride in yesterday morning i had to wear arm-warmers!!! sooooo excited to be cold

but of course the days are now shorter and i'm going to have to put my light on for the rides in... it's just too dark.

hang in there cc, it has to cool down eventually... doesnt it? after all, it's autumn and soon i get to moan about the cold ... if only autumn lasted all year round.. sigh

crazy, I feel very sorry for you (and my daughters who both also live in Perth)..it's hot enough here in the south west, just checked BOM, 28.4 at 9:00am. The forecast is for a cooler 37 here later this afternoon, but another 42 again for Perth. Isn't it bizarre with daylight savings, Perth's max temperature yesterday was just over 42 degrees at 4:45PM...!!
But a cooler change should be coming in tomorrow...

Went for a 50km ride this morning, had a warmish breeze with sweet bush smells, which was nice and awful at the same time. Had a kangaroo cross the road in front of me, 3 bike lengths in front - in the dark at about 6:15, bit scary. Only saw him when he was directly in front of my bike light...
