    They reckon it's the worst summer on record so far, definitely the wettest ever. So much for the doom and gloom merchants predicting we were going to get temperatures of over 100 deg F, with people dying from heat exhaustion. They couldn't have got it more wrong if they tried

    It stopped raining around 7pm and it's dried up so fast (too fast) that you wouldn't think there'd been much rain at all. Went up to the supermarket and bumped into one of our ex sales reps. He said he's homeless tonight and having to stay with friends as his apartment has been flooded and has 8 inches of water all the way through it

    Our weather forecast is predicting more thunderstorms and torrential rain Saturday afternoon. Don't think I'll be going out.

    rain

    Can you send some more rain to Western Australia? We've had some nice downpours over the winter! However, if we don't receive more rain in the next few months, there will be drastic water restrictions in place over the summer.

    The wheatbelt of Western Australia really really needs the rain...

    Riding in the rain is ok but I get a bit tired of the webbed feet ya know..

    Hope it dries out where you are.

    If I could send you all our rain I would

    It's getting very cloudy at the moment and has been spotting with rain (again).

    My husband was out this morning (he's working today) and popped home at lunchtime. He says there's cars abandoned everywhere, some in the middle of the road just coned off by the police.

    According to the weather forecast we've got more of this for the next few days

    I have been reading about your bad weather Python and all the flooding. I hope it clears up soon.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
