We are having the wildest weather imaginable.
October was the hottest on record. We had three days approaching 38C
(100F) and near-zero rainfall. Then last week we had one of the coldest
November maximums ever ... it struggled to 8C (46F) and there was snow
falling to low levels. Then yesterday it was back to 36C (98F), with hot
120kmh winds, bushfires in parts of the state, and roofs being blown off
and trees blown over. All symptomatic of an extreme drought year.
Ah, Melbourne ... if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.
I may play tomorrow too. I'll wait to see what it's like though!

But, any rain lately? We've had some luck. We're still way behind in the
local resorvoir levels, but at least it's rained a time or two since summer.
How 'bout in your neck of the woods?

An inch or so two weeks ago. Otherwise nothing.
The east of Australia is in the worst drought since European settlement.
Towns are running out of water, farmers are leaving, we've had bushfires
three months earlier than usual, and golf courses in the driest areas
are facing the probability of closing.
Where I live, which is one of the more "fortunate" areas, the annual
rainfall to this point of the year is usually about 900mm, we've had
460mm. The water storage systems are only 5-15% full *after* winter. A
40,000 megalitre reservoir near me is a puddle.

Warm today - I'd quit work early to play, but have a golf lesson
scheduled already.
