The Day before Summer Solstice.

It's 10:30am the day before summer solstice and outside it is blowing a gale and I have had to stake my prized sunflowers which are now over 2m high. And, yes that is a fire as it is 9˚C outside.

Wild summer weather.

Storm Clouds Thursday 16th December

The deep cornflower blue of blanketing clouds in the sky sends ominous signs of an approaching storm front. The air feels thick with heat, humidity and pressure building, working towards the first deep rumbles. Summer storm season has arrived.

Sydney Weather

In Sydney for 2 weeks for my exhibition I am struck by the difference between the coastal and highland summer climates. It's been hot and humid here although there are afternoon sea breezes to provide some relief. This blazing pink sky was the evening view from the apartment after a hot summer day.

Sunday 5th December 2010

Rain, rain, rain and....MORE rain. Predictions of a wet summer are looking very accurate at the moment. Wet is almost too weak a term for the volume of rain some areas have recieved in the last week, saturated and flooded is more like it.

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.

Highland Weather ....Damp

Heavy rain all day and a fire tonight on the second last day of spring.

No change forecast for the near future.
