Does anyone check the forecast anymore?
For the last few days I’ve been checking the forecast for Friday/Saturday night and getting the impression that Friday night is the better in Melbourne. Set up and all ready to go and the skies were quite mushy all night.
11am this morning I’m checking the forecast for tonight, cloud increasing from midnight, wind increasing from 10pm and I’m getting strong wind warnings consistently throughout the day. Wind increasing throughout Saturday to 30km over night and already hitting 20km at near midday. Decide to packup and have a quiet evening.
Head out to start the BBQ, wind at died down from 6-7pm, it’s now nearly 11pm and no wind to speak of. Crystal clear night with very low jet stream and it’s dead still, unlike last night which was forecasted to have very little wind but it had a fair breeze.
Considering on Thursday night in Melbourne we had strong winds in a short burst I wasn’t willing to leave anything setup tonight in case it was hectic quickly, no one wants to see their setup smashed on the brick garden edging.
