Spring

When it's not raining, it is lovely spring weather: sunny, blue skies with fluffy white clouds and all the smell of springs (blossoms, bulbs, mown lawn). Cold of course, but the promise that it will soon be warm.

I think there were six days in August when it didn't rain, and something like 12 consecutive days of rain. Not light rain either. Most days heavy, the sort you don't want to get caught in, the sort where you put off things until it's not raining, except it always is.

There's been another week of it so far this month but the rest of the week is supposed to be fine, until the weekend.

We have flooded rivers. Not bad flooding fortuntely, but interesting.

The bridge in the photo on that article is the same one as here.

I was wondering on this just this morning:

Hot and cold records set in January

The Tasmanian weather bureau has described January as a month of extraordinary weather conditions.

Records were set for the state's coldest and hottest days for the first month of the year.

Just been outside to take the dog out for the night. The cold* change came through and it's raining. I can hear it on the roof and hitting leaves in the garden. But I'm standing out in the middle of it, with a sleeveless t-shirt and not much else on, and I think I got all of 5 drops of rain on my arms.

That's what you call a light rain.



*The middle of the night and it's about 20o outside, not what I'd call cold
