Daryl Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 OK, it is officially winter here, and it will be a northern summer in a couple of weeks I guess? The weather has been nice here, with some rainy days, some sunny, and warmish nights and warm days...I certainly can't complain. I hope this continues for another 8-10 weeks... How is everyone's season shaping up? Daryl Quote Gold Coast, Queensland Latitude 28S. Mild, Humid Subtropical climate. Rainfall - not consistent enough!

ariscott Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I was sure we were at single digit last night. It was 10.5deg at Noonamah & 7.9deg at Middle Point. My guess that we would've been somewhere in between. It was cold, even Scott was putting a jacket on...

Tyrone Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Sunny winters day here today with blue skies, just under 20C. Going down to 6C tonight and 18C tomorrow. No more rain for a few days. After the flooding we got yesterday it was quite a contrast. All the fields and paddocks have turned deep green and there is standing water in most of them. The coconut has grown about 10cm or more in the last week. Frogs are still going in the garden. One is just outside our bedroom window and goes "Moooooooooorrrrrrrr" all night and a good part of the day. Frangipani still has new buds on it but I expect it will drop them soon. My 4 headed D decipiens has gone very red in it's new spears with the cooler weather.

Patricia-CR Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Rainy season has started here. Still we get some sunshine in the mornings, luckily a sunny day now and then, but not ready for steady rain during Sept, Oct, Nov, and sometimes part of Dec.

Tyrone Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 3.3C this morning. Coldest morning since last winter. Luckily it's sunny and 19C basically for all week. It's a public holiday here today. Will pot up/fertilise and clean up my Rhopalostylis and Hedyscepe today. They should be kicking into gear now.

Pedro 65 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Looking forward to this East Coast Low arriving, predictions of maybe 2inches of rain a day for 4 days,lets wait and see.But this is too cold too early, five or six years ago we had floods here in June.

Tyrone Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Last couple of days the mins have been nice and warm for June. 10-12C. Going for 20C today, maybe 21C tomorrow then rain from Tuesday on. Some models are predicting 50-75mm of rain by the end of the week which we desperately need. Had some beautiful sunny weather this week. The coconut is averaging about 1cm of growth a night. I think it's now adapted to the cooler weather over the past 3 years. Best regards Tyrone Quote Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S.

Pedro 65 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Raining very steadily here and will get heavier as the day goes on,only had 53mm over past 36 hours but just south of here(EvansHead) (not far from Matt.. Ntheastpalms) has had falls of 240mm in last 36hrs.The arrival of an East Coast low will bring very large falls to much of NSW today and tomorrow mainly on the Mid Nth Coast which is on a Flood Alert. our gardens are loving this,sure beats clear cold nights.

Tyrone Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 That sounds great Peter. Our low system hasn't brought any rain yet. Cloud has just moved in off the Indian Ocean. I don't expect any rain totals like you're expecting though. 30mm most likely, probably tomorrow and bits and pieces after that. Going into a westerly stream which also stops any nights from falling below 10C for the next week. Great Chambeyronia lepidota weather.

Ntheastpalms Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Very wet here, far too wet for winter. 150mm of rain in the last 36 hrs & lots more to come. Two of the main tributaries for the clarence river are begining to rise & I must say that I am getting a little concerned as it is still pouring here at 21:00 & I'm hoping that no more rain falls in the already soaked catchments , so we will see what the next day or two brings.

It was 17.5C at midnight and has sort of dropped in temp from there. Kind of reminds me of a summers day in Edinburgh, but without the benefits of a warm pub and a pint on the cobblestoned Royal Mile.

Tyrone Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well even though we had a cold spell earlier in the week it just doesn't feel like winter except for the short days. I have Heliconias still in flower, frangipanis opening flowers, and things are still opening spears everywhere. The coconut is growing at 10cm per day. My sisters Ixora is coming into flower in winter. Today was sunny after overnight rain and in the sun it was quite warm. We got to 20C today and for the next week it will be 20,21C with mins from 8-13C but mostly double digits with rain and clouds and sun. I think those high ocean temps are having a big effect on our winter this year. I'm not complaining.

It started raining then almost a fog set in. It looked misty as it rained. I wonder if this ash cloud will bring us more rain or mineral rich rain.

richnorm Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 We are having a very warm winter so far. May was a record (2.3c above average following a warm April) and June is sure to be something similar. We are not forecast to go below 10c this week with maximums in the high teens. No doubt winter will come and it may do more damage than usual as plants haven't properly hardened off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
