O-mund has the mildest weather of all, disregarding the east wind days, you´re lucky people there

I actually enjoy the east wind, especially when it creeps up during a still, cloudless night.... My lips tend to get dry 2-3 days before the east wind arrives, this gives me a warning to get my braaimeat ready, coz nothing beats braai on an east wind evening (once the wind dies down)

In some parts of town, we have those whispering pines..... it's an amazing calming sound....

The snow is beautiful when it arrives but after the cars and trucks have been over it its a right mess! lol Think like any weather, its ok in small quantities but after, lets say a month its becomes a bit much! (my opionion)

I went for a walk 40 minutes ago..... the thunder clouds have arrived, moving in from the high ground in th east and moving at pace towards the west,..... man! I hope it rains and makes a racket......

We can do with some rain in the Cape. All that it's raining is ash! With all the fires in the area the sky is an eerie greyish yellow and it looks like it's snowing with a fine mist of ash covering the cars.

You guys aint seen nothing yet.

Here in Aus there are huge fires burning in the southern states on the mainland and hundreds of people killed and something like a thousand houses burnt. The eucalypus trees burn like hell and create fire storms that must be seen to be believed. They get these insane hot northerlies that blow at gale force.

Just a few weeks back there was the highest temperatures ever recorded north of Melbourne: 50.7 C!!!!!! It beat the record just set the week before which was 46 C.

You dont need to light a braai - just put the wors out in the sun!

Thank goodness it doesnt get like that down here in Tasmania which only reaches about 30 C in Hobart.

Sounds horrible, Malcolm! I always think of all the animals that get killed in the fires. Animals like tortoises and chameleons that can't run. Terrible way to die.

georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP) · February 24, 2009, 11:28:39 AM

I have seen the fires down under on the TV
Terrible.......

37 ⁰C here in my valley at the moment. Sky gray with smoke. Weatherman predicted a 30% chance for rain - oh I hope - firstly to help the fire-fighters who's been at it for days, and to cool down a bit and clean the air.
