Good morning tooters, it’s currently a very pleasant 10-11c a very perfect #Autumn morning heading to a warm 26c. There is dew on the grass & some ratbag bird has made a big mess in my centre garden bed 😠.
I went to bed early last night as I developed a headache & my neck felt out. I knew I should have made extra trips with removing the soil in the old raised garden bed, but I always think I can carry that bit more 😬. A good nights sleep 🛌 & a change of pillow again helped.
I’m meeting with a girlfriend for coffee ☕️ this morning & we’ve chosen the local garden centre cafe, we both like it there & they cater well for gluten free which my friend is. I’m also thinking that I just might head out for a swim 🏊🏼‍♀️ this afternoon with the weather being warmer. Take the opportunity while the weather is so nice.
It’s #HumpDay, I hope everyone enjoys their #Wednesday - stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #Garden #Friends #Exercise #AutumnDays

Nerd alert: it’s spring, and at high latitudes this is the season for cutoff lows: persistent puddles of cold air that meander around and cause no end of problems for weather models. It’s situations like this that the degradation of the weather balloon network in Alaska and beyond is likely to result significant variations in model forecasts, which in turn will result in less accurate forecasts.

In March 2025, heavy rain in Queensland, #Australia caused severe flooding across the Australian outback. Some areas got more than a year's worth of rain in a week, leading to rising waters in Channel Country. Small towns and farms in southwestern Queensland were left underwater.

Good morning tooters. It was a pretty fresh 7c when I woke a little after 6am. The sky was just starting to lighten, a lovely quiet time of day. It’s about 9-10c right now & will be heading up to around 23c, so very pleasant.
I’ve had my brekky eggs 🥚 🥚, just finished my coffee ☕️ & I’ve also fed my sourdough starter as I want to make some bread. I will be having a shower soon & I plan to head out for a walk around the river, I might need a jacket out there for a little while. I didn’t get my planned time in the garden yesterday afternoon, after my walk with my daughter & family I just puttered around inside. So I hope to do something outside today. Moving my little inground compost bin is on the agenda as well.
Hope everyone enjoys their #Tuesday, stay safe out there 🌻.

Monday = Alerts and Warnings

Knowing where and how you can receive the warnings and what to do when you get them can mean the difference between life and death.

A watch means weather conditions are favorable for dangerous weather to occur.

Warnings

A warning means the weather event is imminent or occurring somewhere in the defined warning area and that people need to take shelter as soon as possible.
