Heatwave

This has been the warmest November in Armidale that I can recall. Have a look at BOM's 7 day forecast for us and gasp!


In a normal summer we might reach 33 C on a few occasions and 36 C is about the maximum. Well, it's not yet summer, which arrives formally on December 1 - a couple of weeks away. It's still spring - the equivalent of the northern May. When was the last time Bournemouth or Plymouth reached 35 C  (95) in May? Even in mid-summer (January), the average daily maximum is 26 C. so these forescasts are stratospheric.

Despite the forecast of showers, 2014 has been close to the driest year recorded here.
