1st February 2011

Blah! It just feels too hot! No cool air tonight and a week of weather predicted over 30degrees. Humidity is high, sweat appears with little to no exertion... it's February in the subtropics. This is the month I have considered for some time to be the most uncomfortable for weather.

This week also brings a severe weather event in the form of cyclone Yasi approaching the north coast of Queensland. With a storm front around 500km wide, it's scale and force is hard to comprehend.
