54mm over the last couple of days in Sydney which would be most welcome.
Sunny and dry here over the last few days, with that comes the cold nights with minima around 6-7C during the mornings.
Certainly has been very much so mate . Very cleansing and invigorating too and lovely to hear the rain fall "heavily" after a month as well as having a break from the vapid sunny skies
Approx. 60-65mm has fallen here since the event started on Wednesday. I feel so relaxed and happy - like on a natural high - at the moment.
As I'm typing now, frequent showers, some heavy, are passing over-head
As soon as the flow switched from "horrid" icy cold weterlies to the S-SE, the increase in humidity has made it feel much more bearable
Lovely day yesterday and today -- bright blue skies with 18 C. Next week looks much cooler though with possible snow on Tuesday.
Is it really that bad?
No, it isn't. Of the many people I've talked to who have experienced Sydney in the cooler months or have lived/are living there, none has ever even mentioned it.
Another dreary late autumn day here. Nearly seven days without any real sunshine.
...and to think when I show you the climate classification maps and mention the genetics of oceanic climates is to be cool, wet, CLOUDY, ...etc....you tell me they are they are incorrect.
Koppen, and later Trewartha, didn't pull these labels and their overall climate descriptions out of a hat .
Nelson, NZ averages 2,405 hours of sunshine (not sure if accurate, RWood could shed some light), which isn't cloudy to me, and probably isn't cloudy to the majority of people, and has a sunshine minimum of 150 hours in June. Can you explain and justify your reasoning for taking such a condescending and unnecessary tone with Joe, over a, I presume, unusually long spell of cloudy weather? To make some sort of extremely misguided point, or to 'get one over' on him I suspect. This has been a recurring theme with you and I am not the only person to notice this (probably why you're having a silly argument with someone over something incredibly trivial every other day). To be frank, it's incredibly tiresome and nobody likes it, especially when you insist on lecturing others on the climate of their own country.
I can only imagine Nelson is oceanic more because of its temperatures and rainfall as opposed to anything else.. in terms of drearyness, it is nothing remotely like a typical oceanic climate like the UK - much sunnier with less wet days compared to the amount of rain that falls, and is able to support a wider range of subtropical flora - this is reflected in the fact that according to Trewartha, it is very close to humid subtropical.

Cherry-picking poppycock! He's talking about a short cloudy spell. The sunshine mean is nearly 2500 hours, and that's above the global average. "Wet" is also an unreasonable description given that the frequency of rain days is not high (below 100 at the 1.0mm level).
Are you by any chance putting yourself forward as the 2nd offshore expert on NZ climates? We already have one who grossly overestimates his skill ...

Exactly right - see also my post. This guy's lines of argument are incredibly tedious.
Just as a PS - average sunshine at Nelson city over the last 19 years is 2547 hours. I find these climate classification schemes to have one universal characteristic - too generalised. I am only interested in assessing specific climates.

I've experienced extended cloudy spells in both Brisbane and Sydney (in fact we had a bad run during the heavy rain in late Jan this year) and Brisbane is regarded as sub tropical. Furthermore we average around 2,800 sunshine hours p.a.
Point is, I think extended cloudy spells can happen across a number of zones/classifications.
