After freezing subarctic night, with the low temp several degrees cooler than forecast thanks to a traditional seabreeze/ cold front, it looks like it'll reach 21C today even though it's full overcast as per crap.
oh hang on a sec, it hit 20C at 9am but now at 10:30am it's back to a mid-july like 16C. Lame. Seabreeze no. 2 moving through, and some suburbs are bitterly cold with only 13-14C and overcast. Horses ass
Up to around 22 C today. Very nice mild night too with those Nor'westers. Cooled down quite a bit in the last couple of hours with a brief drizzle and a few distant flashes of lightning.

High of 10 C forecasted for Tuesday! We even had a frost last night. This is turning out to be an exceptionally cold October.
13 C/56 F in my backyard at sunrise
20 C/68 F and 38% humidity at 9am
33 C/92 F and 8% humidity at 3pm
My most favourite part was it was 26 C/78 F just before sunset.
*Humidity too low and wind levels too high for gardening though;
many plants need daily water desparately with this kind of weather.
If I could make this weather ideal,
I'd flesh out the humidity numbers by 20-30% (58-68% at 9am, 28-38% at 3pm...)
add a short, 10 minute sunshower late morning
and cut the windspeed down to a faint waft, not a breeze.
Cocktober is colder and cloudier than average here aswell. And certainly no sign of any thunderstorms which were a feature of last year's October.
Days as cold as 16C STILL in the forecast, jesus christ monkey balls I am sick of this ****. This really is a pathetic subarctic climate. Infact, Melbourne is actually an administrative region of Le Dump.
today was supposed to be 23C, didn't even get remotely near it, but what else is new in this polar climate? Some suburbs didn't even exceed 18C for ****'s sake

I was in Melbourne last weekend (ran in the half marathon on Sunday morning). Saturday's cool and grey weather made me glad I live up here . But got lucky with Sunday as it was very sunny and excellent running conditions.
In all honesty could never see myself living down there (have done my time with those sort of conditions), although think the city itself is very nice .
It was 36.5C/98F today and it will probably be a little warmer tomorrow. That is about 20C higher than the maximum 10 days ago. That sort of variation in a single month is not something I see very often here.
The next week is looking dry (what a surprise), although there is the very slight chance of a storm tomorrow. It looks like October will end up similar to August and September, with above average maximums, below average minimums, and below average humidity and rainfall.
several days of 17-18C forecast with the usual omni-present cloud and showers ON THE BLOODY EVE OF FREAKING NOVEMBER but what else is new in this subarctic maritime climate

Never knew Melbourne was more like New Zealand. Always thought of Melbourne with someplace like Seattle. Overcast and drizzle all winter long but clears up in the summer.
