What's the temperature where you are???

46F this morning and forecast is upper 80s again today, need rain bad. We went from being 10" above average rain fall to brown grass now. Crazy.

It's the same here. Soaked to the clay layer since 2019, now drip-soaking gardens.

The bright moon dulled last night's aurora australis, but expect a spectacle with tonight's harvest supermoon​

Tonight's supermoon is called the harvest supermoon because the other side of the world is heading into autumn, which is typically a time for harvesting crops.


Were you lucky enough to see the aurora australis last night?

Also known as the "southern lights", the aurora is typically a spectacular light show triggered when eruptions of solar material cause geomagnetic storms in Earth's atmosphere.

The Australian Space Weather Forecasting Centre (ASWFC) issued an aurora alert yesterday afternoon, signalling to aurora hunters to head for the hills (or anywhere they could get a good view of the night sky).

While the brightness of the impending full moon may have dulled the celestial display, we've still seen a bunch of dazzling photos come through.

Here's a snap Jeff Chen took over a paddock in Callington, South Australia.

This image was taken just after 9pm ACST, when the sky was clear of clouds:

I'm not sure how remote these places are to be honest since the article doesn't name the areas most hit. The damage must be bad if the Gov't is opening the purse

The state and federal governments are providing grants of up to $2,000 each week to households that have gone seven days or longer without power, or are uninhabitable due to damage, capped at $10,000.

30C .. after that cold snap - niiice. very cold here 12C atm. Winter's revenge.

It’s been lovely here past couple weeks. And no rain.

Typical of this time of year it’s chilly at night. But it’s been sunny and in the mid to high 20s

Brrr!

But it’s lovely during the day

Some windy moments again today, mostly from noon onward. 90kph gusts were recorded 30mins south of me at the RAAF base.
