Global warming appears to have reached us here in Armidale. It's still winter according to the calendar, and August corresponds with February in the northern hemisphere. So you'd expect snow on the ground and chilly day-time temperatures?
Well, no. The forecast temperature here today is 26C, which is the average summer maximum and the overnight temperature has been around 10C, again normal for summer. Nor is this a one-off event. Yesterday was a mere 25C and the previous 2-3 days were 20C or above.
So plants are going berserk and the magpie nesting season must be close at hand with its swopping fiends trying to knock me off my bike. I thought I might be spared that a few more weeks, but alas no.
