How you holding up @NTA and other Sydney Ferners? Damp again?
Much floodness this year. Getting silly.
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.

Fuuuuuuck that, there goes ANU as a potential place to work. Nice and toasty 38 degrees here today.
A friend of mine, from Brisbane, never been to Canberra, just took a govt job down there. Her first time visiting will be when she gooes down to check out apartments.

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...
No it doesn’t, that’s way too hot.
Agreed! Never understand people showing off when it’s 32 degrees plus …..

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.

Hope any ferners and family in the Ta$man region and West Coast are all good, looking pretty awful down there!
-
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.
-
@taniwharugby it's crazy. Catching up with a few mates down there, some evacuated, some couldn't get home so raiding the wine cellar of the person they're staying with.
But it's nuts. Red stickering houses, the Maitai has twice (!) the flow ever recorded on it (admittedly short duration, but still). Ugly times.
and this is the new normal.
-
@nzzp yeah that report earlier this week that effectively said houses in coastal regions will be uninsurable by 2040 predicts 'one in a hundred year storms' will be an annual event by the end of the decade.
Poor coasties probably think they're a weekly event even now.
-
She's been a wet old winter, I think the whole of July had weather watches or warnings at least 1 time a week up here.
Hasn't been too bad in Whangarei, but i see Kaeo copping it as always...was up there and Matauri Bay last week on a cool but clear day, such a contrast.

@taniwharugby said in Extreme Weather:
Kaeo
Pretty much the worst place for a town huh?
What amazes me is how Kaiata escapes when you look at the catchment that goes through that narrow part of the valley.
