What's the temperature where you are???

I've just witnessed the longest lasting hailstorm of my lifetime. 25 minutes of continual, sustained quarter to golf ball sized hail. -seen larger hail before, but have never seen hail falling for this long at one time. 75 degrees.
That sounds really quite frightening! I hope there's no serious damage to your property.

Record run of autumn hot weather for Sydney as waters simmer past cyclone threshold​

By ABC meteorologist Tom Saunders​

The start of autumn has delivered extraordinary heat to NSW, both over land and in the water. (umm they keep changing the goal posts: Autumn doesn't begin until the Equinox).

The warmth has reached record levels in Sydney, including an unprecedented run of days above 28 degrees Celsius and an offshore water temperature nudging 27C — warm enough for a tropical cyclone.

While relief from the unseasonably high air temperatures will arrive later this week, summery weather is likely to return next week and potentially linger well into April.

Spell of abnormal heat stretching to 10 days​

After a hot and humid summer, NSW is now enduring (aka loving!) an extended spell of warm autumn weather reaching its second week.

autumnal equinox, two moments in the year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length; also, either of the two points in the sky where the ecliptic (the Sun’s annual pathway) and the celestial equator intersect. In the Northern Hemisphere the autumnal equinox falls about September 22 or 23, as the Sun crosses the celestial equator going south. In the Southern Hemisphere the equinox occurs on March 20 or 21, when the Sun moves north across the celestial equator.

According to the astronomical definition of the seasons, the autumnal equinox also marks the beginning of autumn, which lasts until the winter solstice (December 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere, June 20 or 21 in the Southern Hemisphere).
