Burrawang Tuesday 25 October

Misty Burrawang 7 am.

I have never enjoyed hot weather and when I lived in Brisbane there were two dates I associated with summer. Melbourne Cup Day usually heralded the end of comfortable weather and cool nights and if it was still hot on Anzac Day we had experienced a long hot summer. There was often a  heatwave in October after a brief spring.
 This year I spent much of October in Victoria and last week there were several days of hot dry weather, an October heatwave, there. Unlike the sticky heat waves in Brisbane the lack of humidity made the warm days very pleasant.
Returning to Burrawang on Thursday, the warm weather continued and I was lamenting the end of spring as I used to in Brisbane. But as a cool change moved in with the some rain last night the mist rolled in and  the garden is refreshed.

Changing conditions.

This morning we woke to clear blue skies and a warm humid day in the mid 20s. I went out into the garden to take some photos and discovered that my battery was flat.

It is now 2:30pm and I looked up from my work to find the mist rolling in. The temperature has dropped to the mid teens and it looks like we will have a cool evening. These sudden changes are typical of the summer climate in the highlands.

30 November: Rain and Mist

Today we have had steady heavy rain with mist. Definitely an indoor day. There are puddles everywhere and the sweetpeas are collapsing with the weight of all the water.
