Bizarre Weather.

Over the weekend, Australia recorded some bizarre temperatures. For two consecutive days, Hobart, which is by far the coldest of the state capital cities on average, recorded the highest temperatures of them all - up to 7 degrees above Darwin 3,750 km or so to the north on the warm Arafura Sea. On one day Hobart had 39 degrees and on the other the temperature reached a round 40 degrees C. Unfortunately, for the apple islanders, tomorrow's temperature is forecast to be less than half their weekend experience at 18C. (i.e. back to normal).

Meanwhile, we continue to have a very cool and wet summer ... by our standards here in Armidale. Temperatures have rarely reached the summer average of 26C and most days have had rainfall so that our landscape vaguely resembles Ireland.
