Burrawang Tuesday 19 July

This calm scene at Kiama at 9AM on Tuesday morning gave no clue as to what was on the way. Within an hour  a storm front arrived with high winds and heavy rain which has given many areas more than half the average monthly rainfall for the area in one day.

In the highlands there were reports of light snow in Berrima, Bowral and Moss Vale. The snow melted as it hit the ground so there were no magical photo opportunities. the wet and windy weather is forecast to continue for the next few days. 

Afternoon Clouds

Rolling clouds and distant thunder remind me of summer weather in Brisbane where first semester back at school meant taking off your shoes and wading home through puddles left by the 3 pm storms. We have had thunder for the last three afternoons but no rain.

I have been enjoying the warm days but as you can see from the forecast above we are in for some hot days.
