Weather Warning

A week ago today…spring arrived in Sydney. It was a glorious day with sun, no clouds and a nice 24/25 degrees. The next day was the same, and the next. Sunday brought a few light showers (and my Great Grandson ;-), but the temperature stayed nice and high. The sun put his hat on again during the early week and even yesterday morning it was fine.

Last night however, the weather took a turn and plunged us well and truly back into winter. According to the Bureau of Meteorology’s website there was a storm front over Sydney and up to Newcastle (160kms) pelting us with rain and bringing winds to gale force. Today a lot of beaches are closed and the woolly coats are back on. Apparently we have this weather to look forward to at least until next Monday.

I love it, storm fronts, wild winds, rain and it’s still 20 degrees!
