The last post reported great heat and smoke from bush fires. Now we have almost the opposite. Would believe almost 40 mm of rain (1.5 inches) in 20 minutes and a plunge in temperatures from about 27c to 15c in a few minutes? The garden was afloat for a while!
I'm not attaching a picture because most of mt readers are intelligent enough to know what it looks like. I went on to the bureau of meteorology website and saw a massive storm cell about 50 km (30 miles) across which went right over the top of the city. Alas, there was some damage. Part of the roof of one of our shopping centres, Armidale Plaza, collapsed, closing the centre. That's terrible for the traders who are entering their busiest period in the year.
Anyway, it's back to normal today. The forecast is for about 28C and it's now brilliantly sunny.
