HAHA. Very true.

Since I got back it has been quite cool indeed. Feels like mid spring currently here in Melb.

When I was in Uluru the locals were saying it has been wetter than normal and cooler than normal. Seemed quite green for the desert.

The SAM and IOD have definitely had a major impact.

We got 16mm of rain today. Morning and afternoon were a bit cool at 17C, when the most of the rain came down.

Right now at 6pm, it looks like the sun is coming out and the temperature is rising (20C). It feels a bit muggy with the dewpoint being 18C.

Where's the guy who goes on about the horrible dry westerly winds? I'd love to hear what he's saying about all of this.

Bloody westerly - icy cold in winter and suffocating hot in spring/summer. Sydney would be a much more pleasant place without the GDR!

And you are fixated on Melbourne lol

He doesn't have a sense of humour and sprouting gibberish at all times doesn't do him any favours at all.
And you hit the nail on the head re focusing on Melbourne - me thinks he's still living there and lying about living in SA.
I say it as it is and if he doesn't like that - tough :-)
He just doesn't like being called out hence the usual vapid and immature name calling if you get my drift :-)

I'm offended that you (jgo - naturally) think I make no sense at all :-)

Right now at 10:30am, the DP is 20C with air temp of 26C. The dewpoint will most likely decrease because the air temp is set to be 37C in the afternoon.

Kidding right?

Sun data is not included for earlier years though. I have sun data for Sydney and Melbourne dating back to the early 1930s and had to pay hefty fees to BOM for the luxury

If you personally asked that question, I would gladly answer but I refuse to have anything to do at all with alex985 so no comment

Yeah, funny, cos 38C heat here is mostly a westerly. So is it "icy" to him too? Lol...

But then cool southeasterlies (that actually come from the antarctic) are not icy at all? Odd...

Ask me direct and I'll answer you. No way will I respond to alex985
