Bizzare Weather!!!
Let me start by wishing 'good luck' and 'keep safe' to our members on the Central Coast near the bushfires! Nasty Stuff. We had one not too far away but under control today.

Now, this bizzare weather! Yesterday it was 41 degrees here with a disgusting Hot northerly wind that sapped all the energy out of you.
Then, today we reached a maximum of only 17 degrees!!! and it has rained almost all day. We have gone from a record heat yesterday to wearing jumpers and putting the heater on today! Tonight it is freezing outside!

What's going on????

Ken this is an indication of what has happened today. The helecopter shots are from Scott Alder, I kidnapped him to hunt down the hotspot and the chopper.

The southerly has just reached us now

Hot is hot and it is Summer, but what I don't get is the 24 degree variation from yesterday to today. That's too much variation!!!

Yesterday was shocking! 44 degrees at Gosford. The fires aren't near me but we have friends out there. Hope they're ok.

When the southerly hit at 10:30pm it cooled it down a bit, but not until this morning when it started to rain does it feel "normal" again.

Shocker of a day yesterday.

We had a comfortable 33c yesterday... some fires to the west up set the viewing
last night... but New Year Eve! wow! best skies I've had for months, was even seeing
hints of the Ecke gap in the A ring on Saturn in my trusty lil 8" f/6 newt!. I'm sure if I
lived in suburbia I would of swapped for a 12" dob by now....

Same story here 40 degrees, with hot wind yesterday.
I struggled to sleep then got rudely awakened by yet another thunderstorm.
That at least dropped the temp, then it felt so cold had to go and get the doona.
Doubt its going to reach 20 today
