peachy Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Tyrone you can keep that awful heat all to yourself. Here it's still incredibly humid and averaging around 30, but not any rain falling on my place. I was digging a hole yesterday, flooded it to soften the ground a bit, and every drop was absorbed within minutes, so it must be very dry on the surface 40cms or so. The nights are cooler but still very sticky and uncomfortable. I need a 3 man crew working double shifts to catch up with the feeding, weeding and watering. Decided to keep it alive as best as I can and if it looks like hell then so be it. Peachy I came. I saw. I purchased 27.35 south. Warm subtropical, with occasional frosts.

Tyrone Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Going for 39C today. It was 35C at 9.45am. The heat up has slowed down a bit as we are around 37C at 11.40am. Could get a thunderstorm or two tonight. I hope so. What are the humidity levels like at these temps, Tyrone? Dewpoints are single digits and so is the RH when that happens. But those days were followed by low 30's and Dewpoints around 20,21C. Has been really hot humid and sticky the last couple of days. I can handle 40C with 5% RH as you almost don't sweat believe it or not. 30C and 60% RH and you just drip. Lastnight we had mins around 20, 21C and RH as high as 96%. The clouds were quite low and "building up" to something. Severe thunderstorms are now occuring to the south and east of me with warnings current. We'll miss out on the action though. Reportedly hail is forecast. The poor guys in the wheatbelt if they haven't harvested yet will just want to plow it all back in now. It's been a shocking wet harvest season for them.

ariscott Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think Grant has ruined the weather somewhat... We haven't had our monsoon trough yet and it is January. Usually it gets here at Christmas. I have huge things planned for this season.... a lot of planting as my shadehouse needs a clean out. Then I have to take the shadecloth out of the old shadehouse to put in the new shadehouse, and then replacing it with old shadecloth... but I can't do it without cloudy days.... On the upside... heat and humidity, everything is growing like crazy. As long as the afternoon storm still comes, it is heaven as far as plants go... For human, not so much.... he he he. BTW, Happy New Year everyone :). Better year for growing..... Ari & Scott Darwin, NT, Australia -12°32'53" 131°10'20" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Another week of clouds, occasional glimpses of sun and very high humidity but only 2mm of rain total last week. Not promising for this week either. At least we are escaping the heat and the worst of the storms so far. The scary thing is that this weather is a carbon copy of this time last year. Peachy I came.

Caryota_gigas Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 You can have some of our rain. I don't think we have had a day since Christmas without some precipitation, and it looks like it is going to rain every day for the next week! Its getting awfully slushy over here.

Walter John Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yes Mike, some decent downpours here, quite wet around the yard, in fact I would like a couple of hot days now so I can mow and pull out some grass and weeds, then it can rain again, the perfect cycle.

Daryl Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Wal, i see Beerway got 213mm (8.5") in that little wet spell the other day...not a bad drop of rain and your garden would be loving it! I got 138 mm here, the garden certainly needed it...I just hope we don't have another prolonged dry spell for a while. Daryl Gold Coast, Queensland Latitude 28S. Mild, Humid Subtropical climate.

peachy Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Only 8mm from the last few days fell here. I had storm clouds to the north and south with blue skies overhead. The extreme heat from a week ago added to the dry weather and wind has killed a few palms here. Fronds are dropping like flies too. After it hitting 41c, I think its time to join the cacti society.

Tyrone Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Got to 39 today with 17C dewpoints. It's 10.50pm and still 31.5C. Going for a min of 24C and a max of 40C. Here is the forecast for the week. Thursday Very hot. Partly cloudy. Min 26 Max 41Friday Very hot. Partly cloudy. Min 25 Max 39Saturday Very hot. Sunny. Min 26 Max 42Sunday Very hot. Windy morning. Min 24 Max 40Monday Very hot. Sunny. Min 23 Max 40Tuesday Very hot. Sunny. Min 26 Max 40Dewpoints will be in the mid to high teens. I might go back to Exmouth in the tropics to cool down. Where we stayed never went above 33C with high humidity. You can't do anything in this sort of heat. I mowed the lawn around 5.30pm and it was still 37C. Was washing the car at 7.30pm and it was still 35C. Could do with some rain although we got the January average on Sat night. I hope everyone in QLD fairs OK with their rain and floods.

ariscott Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yep... it is a category 1 cyclone without the cyclone watch/warning system... the condition definitely fits... but we still have to go to work, driving in the condition and can't do any cyclone preparation at home...

Tyrone Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Daryl, that's some awesome rain you have there. Reticulation is in "life support" mode if you know what I mean. Garden has grown like crazy in the last couple of weeks since I've been away too. Luckily for the garden the next few scorching days will not be low humidity events thankfully. But for us humans we'll feel like we are going to die with any sort of humidity with those temps. Could do with a thunderstorm or two in there.
