    How you holding up @NTA and other Sydney Ferners? Damp again?

    Much floodness this year. Getting silly.

    And then the river came right up - and quickly! The growing issue in my part of NW Sydney is urbanisation; all the feeder creeks are getting hammered because pasture land is being eaten away by paved surfaces and drainage. The outcome is faster water egress to channels. Have a look at various parts of the area immediately south of Windsor, where the river is flooding and badly:

    If I may whinge ... a 14 deg high with rain and drizzle all day is NOT what I signed on to when I shifted here.

    I got drenched yesterday on my walk home from work. Completely drenched like I was living back in Palmy again. WFH today.

    It's not really that cold though, just wet.

    This thread eh? It's like we took the successful GOM thread and spun it off into a grumpy thread of its own.

    Anyway, weather seems OK here you bleating moaners...

    Amen to that. I think it’s my pasty Scottish heritage speaking but couldn’t agree more.

    Give me a stinking hot Wellington Summer where it might nudge 24-25 at the most any day.

    12 years mate of being a sweaty bastard.

    Worst part about HK was not so much it being 35 snd humid during the day. More it only dropped to 32 at night.

    I wouldn't want to live and work in 30+ tropics, but when you're sifting around in boarding in and out of the water, it's bliss

    Women's 7s tournament this weekend is cancelled. We will probably still play men's as our ground will drain in the sun the next 2 days.

    And to make matters worse there's a near guarantee of another year of La Nina and negative Indian dipole. Only problem of course is there's nowhere for the water to go., The ground is sodden.

    @MajorRage a cold shower and you are still sweating like a pig. Miss the tropics.
