We have good news and bad news. The good news is we finally had some rain last night, the bad news is that it was only 3 mm. It still looks cloudy as you can see from this photo taken early this morning as I walked along the foreshore, but I don't think much more rain will be coming our way today.
Everywhere is looking so dry here. We are going to be in for a bushfire summer, I think.
Our house is hidden in the trees in the distance. Hope a bushfire doesn't come through here this summer.
I think those clouds would have dumped some rain in the UK…..we are awash this year…..storm Babette due tonight….where do they get these names from? A pretty curved bay & a very nice boat….visitors I reckon.
@ludwigsdiana We had a lot of rain during winter too but the forecast is for a hot dry summer. Bushfires across our State already so far and it is only spring.
@ankers70 Yes indeed. Lots of bushfires already up the coast of NSW, only had one close to us so far this spring though.
@kjarn The rain usually misses us. We see on the weather radar great bands of rain but somehow it goes to the north of us and the south of us and we get the drizzle in the middle.
@pusspup We need a good downpour, most of the rain seems to miss our area.
@happypat Thanks Pat. I often wondered how storms get their names so I looked it up. The link may be interesting. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67135325
It shows how Babet got its name too.
I think this boat is a visitor because I have never seen it on the foreshore before.
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann. I reckon it is a visitor because it isn't a regular boat we see on the foreshore.
@robz The fires are bad aren't they, so many so soon into Spring. We have had one fire close to us so far and I expect we will have lots more. in the coming months.
