It's not as bad here as further north but it has been cool and wet here all 'summer'. We had some OK weather on Australia Day and over the weekend, though it rained most nights. Monday got over 30* for only about the second time this summer. Yesterday was cooler with some rain and today it's cool and raining steadily. The powdery mildew has killed the zucchinis and is moving to the cucumbers, the tomatoes are taking forever to ripen but the lettuce and silver beet are happy. The lawn's a swamp.
I think the La Nina pattern is predicted to weaken during autumn so we may get some observing in over winter. The thing I'm really hoping is that the wet breaks before November so we have a fighting chance of seeing the eclipse. A 3000km drive to look at early-morning cloud is not what what I want.
