Cold and wet today but no wind.

About the same in England this morning...

...except it's meant to be SUMMER here!!!

RickStead · **Posted:** Sat Jul 07, 2007 01:05:45 am

Hey Gav,

Not much difference in England and Newfoundland. It's supposed to be summer here too.

scurralous · **Posted:** Sat Jul 07, 2007 02:55:28 am

It's called Global Warming fellas :shock:

RickStead · **Posted:** Sat Jul 07, 2007 03:04:41 am

Yeah, only it ain't so warm. :cry:

gavin-h · **Posted:** Sat Jul 07, 2007 04:54:12 am

Summary:

Global Warming = the whole world is cold and wet with variable amounts of wind. :lol:

MargoZ · **Posted:** Sun Jul 08, 2007 16:41:25 pm

I'm BEGGING for some global warming in Sydney today...wet, miserable, cold ...and its even worse outside....

Lakatoi 4 · **Posted:** Sun Jul 08, 2007 17:34:07 pm

Yes, must be the wettest Sydney winter in years. It's been cold but dry for many winters here now.

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Sun Jul 08, 2007 17:44:50 pm

Just started to rain heavily after a few days of light drizzle and sunshine. This should help to clear the haze a little more.

BoB · **Posted:** Mon Jul 09, 2007 19:57:38 pm

gavin-h · **Posted:** Thu Jul 12, 2007 18:36:24 pm

Rain here this morning.

It's that really fine drizzle that you only get at the seaside that smells of the sea and gets you really wet!

Predicted to improve for the weekend, though.

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Fri Jul 13, 2007 01:31:34 am

A lot of rumblings but no rain - like NATO - no action talk only. :lol:

Cheers frum BoB

Lakatoi 4 · **Posted:** Mon Jul 16, 2007 20:29:42 pm

No rain or clouds in sunny Sydney but very cold. Today was the coldest day in a few years.

Near the coast it got down to a frigid 4 degrees C. and in outer Sydney it was a mind numbing -2 degrees C.

It makes you want to move to Queensland (now there is a great idea!).

gavin-h · **Posted:** Mon Jul 16, 2007 21:12:20 pm

Typical British Summer here:

Saturday was warm and sunny - managed to sit out in the Garden for a couple of hours.

Yesterday started fine, but rained in the afternoon and was quote cool.

Today's fine but cloudy - about 18C...

scurralous · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2007 03:20:50 am

Cripes Gav it's Winter downunder but Perth still recorded 22 Celcius here! :lol:

RickStead · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2007 10:15:12 am

I'm comin' for a visit when I retire! 22 C in the winter sounds great. It's still warmer than most of our summer days.

gavin-h · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2007 17:42:21 pm

Massive thunderstorm here last night. Best we've had for a few years...

gooner · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2007 21:18:43 pm

I was just about to reply to Gavin about the huge storm we are having about 60 miles south of him right now (midday) when

.... ... CRACK .... BOOM

Two of my three of my machines went and rebooted with all the implications of that - all internet connections lost and SKY TV gone... taken me 30 minutes to get back on line.

Two free-flowing streams either side of the road - glad we don't live near a river - poor old car must have thought it was getting a jet-wash (a first for everything I guess).

MargoZ · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2007 22:22:33 pm

Just came back from a weekend in Sydney's arch rival city, Melbourne and have reluctantly to admit that Sydney is actually more freezing than Melbourne.

Drove 45 minutes to work this morning and all the fields on the way (and our campus) were white with thick frost. Not used to such conditions and nearly went flying when I stepped onto the icy grass getting out of my car. (Not that I expect any sympathy from the northern hemisphere....) :lol:

Hope all of the storms are finished now?

Hi, Dave,

We had a few flashes and rumbles in the distance, but seemed to pass over without really doing much.

Colleague in Lytham? Would that be Gov't Buildings?

Hi Gavin - it would indeed - I am currently contracting for them, but work from home most of the time - unfortunately I have to be up there all day Thursday for panic meeting so that's a day lost in travel ....

Oh well it pays the mortgage (and ebay!).

Lakatoi 4 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 18, 2007 13:00:16 pm

Well, final confirmation that yesterday was Sydney's coldest day in 21 years :shock:

Frost everywhere here, even where I live which is relatively near the coast (a couple of Kms.).

Dave,

Small world, part 92:

I work at Peel Park for EDS - we're moving to D-Block on LSA site in the next couple of weeks :!:

gooner · **Posted:** Wed Jul 18, 2007 19:56:45 pm

I also work for EDS - Consulting Services contracted out to DWP account

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Wed Jul 18, 2007 20:35:46 pm

Its raining heavily right now in Klang, Selangor. It is 6.42 pm Malaysian time and hoping that it will cool the place nicely to have a good night's sleep.

Andrew

gavin-h · **Posted:** Wed Jul 18, 2007 20:47:27 pm

Cloudy but fine here at the moment.

Dave - it's amazing what I can find out when you have your netid in your signature... :wink:

RickStead · **Posted:** Wed Jul 18, 2007 23:03:52 pm

Sunny and hot in old St. John's and it's only 1030 hrs. Think I'll take the afternoon off.

MargoZ · **Posted:** Wed Jul 18, 2007 23:09:40 pm

...and Rick...what constitutes 'HOT' in old st Johns??

gooner · **Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2007 00:45:46 am

Gavin I know but I have had it for over 25 years now and it is like a second natural name to me and doesn't mean anything to anyone who doesn't work there. :oops:

RickStead · **Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2007 04:04:28 am

Margoz, HOT is anything over 25 C. And believe me, it doesn't happen that often.

Lakatoi 4 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2007 13:13:16 pm

A balmy 25 & over eh!

New Year's day in Sydney last year was a warm 50 (Degrees C that is) :shock:

sh-tnoidavailable · **Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2007 16:12:02 pm

Jeez Lakatoi, how's the heat wave treatin ya?

It's been nice and sunny today, top of 18.

gooner · **Posted:** Fri Jul 20, 2007 09:35:11 am

Been up in sunny Lytham St Annes today- wish I had been on the beach - unfortunately just an all day meeting in a sweaty office with sweaty people with no air-con....

Midnight
Didn't last tho - raining again now.....

BoB · **Posted:** Fri Jul 20, 2007 09:58:48 am

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Fri Jul 20, 2007 13:01:35 pm

Sunny but not too hot outside. Would be a good day to go out and get a little sunshine.

Andrew

gavin-h · **Posted:** Fri Jul 20, 2007 19:23:34 pm

Overcast and cool this morning. There is the threat of Heavy Rain for later today moving up from Southern England... :roll:

mikbatwine · **Posted:** Fri Jul 20, 2007 20:24:32 pm

Just heard from my sister who lives near Liverpool England and she tells me that she bought a deck chair to sit out the back garden in the summer sunshine.
It is now up for sale as she has used it three times and reckons summer is over.
Alas she tells me there is more rain expected (about 4 inchs)101 mls and more floods are predicted for some parts of the country.
Mike
There is no finish line

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Fri Jul 20, 2007 20:34:49 pm

Weather went freaky since the last post...
sunny to drizzling
...and then cloudy with no rain
...followed by some strong wind and rain and now back to calm.

Andrew
