What's the temperature where you are???

This morning so far clear blue sky, sunshine, no wind. Expect to be very hot day today.
Yesterday was hot during the day, late in the evening we had rain storm, mighty strong wing and my garden was like kid play ground. Things were just everywhere, lucky the chickens still in 1 spot,well 3 spots just where they were before the rain storm.

From what I can see now, I do not expect further rain because the air is cool/dry, so no rain. If it is humid then there might be rain coming.

Rare summer La Niña could be forming in Pacific, raising risk of wet weather start to 2025​


The great rainmaker, La Niña, could be back for the fourth time in five years, increasing the prospect of a soaking start to 2025 across most of Australia.

La Niña refers to a cooling of the tropical Pacific Ocean and the subsequent shift in global weather patterns, including a strengthening of moist easterly winds blowing towards Australia, and a subsequent increase in cloud development and rain over the longitudes.

Your average La Niña forms in winter, peaks in late spring, then gradually weakens through summer. However, the current edition has not played by the rule book — for only the second time in 75 years, its onset has arrived in the middle of summer.

How a January-forming La Niña will impact our weather​

The more intense La Niña events can last for years and lead to widespread flooding, as seen recently from 2020 to 2022 when record rain fell across much of New South Wales.

The BOM's own model, ACCESS, shows a medium-to-strong swing to wetter than normal conditions for the next three months, apart from in South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.

Looking globally, the well renowned ECMWF model is tipping up to a 90 per cent chance of above median rainfall across Australia's tropics and east coast, and extends the likely wetter region as far south as Adelaide and Melbourne.

The arrival of La Niña can also dampen temperatures, as an increase in cloud and rain reduces the intensity of incoming sunlight.

However, most modelling still forecasts average-to-above average temperatures across Australia for the first few months of 2025 ? — a result of very warm sea surface temperatures surrounding our country, climate change, and in the short term, an absence of monsoon rains.

There goes summer - once again :th
