[PotD] Humid and stormy.

[moonvoice]

Was a warm night and promises to be a warm day (over 40C here in the Brook).
Woke up to altocumulus and cumulus fractus and mediocris and a bunch of others
in the cumulus family.
All clumping together,
reminding us that the thunderstorms might not be done yet.

A warm day? No. Over 40C is hot! I am crying for you. May my Tassie tears evaporate and fall onto your WA sands. ;_;

It's going to get down into the mid-to-low thirties for the rest of the week, so today isn't chafing *too* badly, because there's Perth's version of 'relief' on the way. But oh man, this summer! And throughout Australia! It's not been a remotely kind summer at all.

Today was really windy in Cressy, so even though I was doing manual labor in the heat, my sweat actually felt like it was helping to cool my body. I didn't even mind the boxes flying everywhere.

Still, I wish the weather were consistently cooler for you and for the rest of Australia. I'm sure Hobart's not going to be the last devastating fire we hear about this summer.

Gorgeous!

We've been getting plenty of thunderstorms over here, which has had everyone a little jumpy. The rain has been evaporating before it hits the ground. I'm sure you know what that's like.

Wishing cool breezes your way!

Ah, rain evaporating before it hits the ground! I love seeing that from a distance. The fall-streak of rain, but none of that misty/blurriness that shows it actually hitting the horizon line. But less fun to actually experience!

Thanks for friending back.

I'm UK based and what we seem to have here is weeks on end of leaden grey skies- 'darkness at noon' as a well known writer has it.

It begins to get depressing after the first two months........

You're very welcome! It's a pleasure to meet you.

I have Summer Seasonal Affective Disorder, so the prospect of dreary days always appeals - but I doubt the reality would pan out the way I think it would in my head. I'm also used to Perth winters, which are blustery and wild - drizzle is a rare occurrence here, it's either 'rain' or 'torrential downpour.' I mean... we're spoiled for sunlight - the most days of sunlight of any major city in the world (which includes a lot of crisp winter sunlight).

But I do like overcast days; they make my Summer SAD disappear, and enough of them in a row gets me to a good place mentally. Whereas I'm the reverse in Summer.
