What's the temperature where you are???

[Ponypoor]

We are here getting cooler weather, mostly hot during the day, but cooler weather at night and early morning.
I am so glad we have no rain in the last 2 days.
I am going to take out my doona/duvet, it is time!

Soon be Autumn for you.

I think Spring won’t arrive here until mid April this year.

It was -17C this morning, now it’s -12C and the wind is howling. Weather advisories are still out for the region.

They don’t call this the ‘snow belt’ for nothing!

Mid April is that when the snow starts melting

-12C, I don't know if I can live with that cold. I have never ever experience that cold weather, our winter is might be just like spring or summer to the US. April comes quickly! Let there be warm sunshine.

We are feeling Autumn already, just the early morning and late night cool air. That is how Autumn approaches over here, cold morning and night, day is still super hot, around April the weather is almost Autumn. It is beautiful Autumn weather.

Today weather is humid now, so it will rain today, if it does not then the humidity will get worse and then finally storm.

This morning I got down into the garden to get my feathery kids out and I got bitten by insects all over. Got caught in a few spider webs, and what seem to be a little black dot is actually some sort of insect, it bit me so badly. I already done so much trimming and cutting of trees and plants.................

More rain forecast for flood-affected parts of Queensland, chance of cyclone forming​

1 day ago​

Residents in flood-affected parts of northern Queensland have enjoyed a brief dry spell, but isolated heavy rainfall could hamper recovery efforts.

Meteorologist Livio Regano said the weather had calmed in general but there was some rain on the way.

"There's very little rain falling over North Queensland," he said.

"That will change now over coming days, because we've got a south-easterly surge moving up the coast."

Mr Regano said there could be isolated falls of 50 to 100 millimetres over the next few days in parts of the state's north.

The heaviest rainislikely to fall on the Cassowary Coast and in the Daintree.

"Most places will get a lot less than that, but it's something to watch out for," Mr Regano said.

The rain is expected to ease on Thursday and Friday.

Flood warnings remain in place for the Flinders, Thomson and Connors-Isaac rivers, although Mr Regano said they were generally "on the way down".

'So traumatised as it is'​

Ingham Family Medical Practice manager Jessica Lavarini said many would be distressed at the prospect of more heavy rain.

"People are so traumatised as it is now," she said.

"You've still got people who have nowhere to live.

"So if they're projecting more heavy rains for us it's going to cause widespread panic."

The medical practice reopened last Monday after being closed for a week.

Ms Lavarini said although the flooding had subsided, the community was "in a bad way" and that the health impacts were starting to show.

"We're seeing a lot of people presenting with wounds that are infected from floodwaters, that have fevers, that are unwell," she said.

Mould 'grows and grows'​

Ms Lavarini said the spread of mould was also a serious concern.

"If people are living in a house that's got mould on it, and they're breathing that in that can affect their respiratory systems," she said.

"Without running air-cons to keep places dry, the mould just grows and grows and grows."

Ms Lavarini said health professionals across the region were exhausted.

"I just said to the girls in my office, I'm absolutely on the edge of burnout — like I emotionally am just at my wit's end," she said.

"Nurses are even doing home visits to people to do [blood] tests and check their sugar levels, because [patients] haven't got any other means of transport — they lost their cars in the flood."

'A great relief' in the west​

Flooding rains in the west have brought relief and delight to areas grappling with dry conditions.

Floodwaters from further north have been snaking their way through western Queensland rivers since late last week.

Central west patrol group inspector Chris Smith said the recent rain was like "pennies from heaven".

"It's such a great relief for the broader community," he said.

Over the weekend the Thomson River in Longreach rose above moderate flood level at a peak of 4.63 metres.

The Thomson River is expected to stay above the minor flood level for the next few days but is slowly falling.

Outback towns such as Stonehenge and Jundah are next in the water's path.

Moderate flooding is predicted later this week.

I carry a tall stick to clear webs from my path. Spiders quickly learn to make their webs higher up.

 

[EmmaDonovan]

I do long distance hiking and we call the first people on the trails in the mornings "web walkers" because they clear the webs for everyone else, intentionally or not.

I use a hiking pole to clear webs in the mornings, just swing it up and down in front of me as I go. It must look weird to anyone who doesn't know what I'm doing but it's no fun walking along and suddenly there's a spider on your face. Then you flip out and people REALLY wonder what's up with you.
