Weather where you are?

Visibility was shit here today, not because of smoke from a raging forest fire, but due to the rain and mist (again)! So much for high summer, but I’ll take it any day in preference to 30+ degrees heat.
However, it would be nice to at least reach the record global ‘average’ temperature of 17C once in a while...🤨
 
Brisbane has a sunny winters day.

Max of 24c, but I'm seriously looking forward to summer.

The older I get, the colder I feel. 🥶

Maybe a sea change to Death Valley should be considered….. okay, I’ve considered it. Nah. 😅
 
Thanks for the heads up re the weather ☹️sadly my time is up and I fly out on Monday for a Tuesday night arrival. Have had and still am an effing good time. Two more nights of drinking and eating and telling stories and then back to winter in Oz☹️. It’s currently 34 here now.😊👍

There aren’t any decent pubs in Death Valley.
 
Havasu (London Bridge) has lots of good bars. And some decent places to eat. The lake and The River is a big Hot Boat party location. There is a sandbar not far from town that gets hundreds of flat billers and bikini babes drinking beer and peeing where they stand in waist deep water!
 
One serious day of rain Monday here in Metro Vancouver, then the dial gets turned up again, near 30c just off shore. Two days of smoke filled air from a massive fire down in Idaho, USA, but other than that, closest fire near me is on the southern tip of Vancouver Island ( 43rd largest island on Earth), man made arson fire right on southern tip, near the USA.
 
I can feel this winter in Sydney big time, 14c here now but down to 7c with the wind chill. Not crazy like some get but our houses don't get built to suit that.
 
It’s 34 here in Osaka, but feels like 41! What a horrible time to be in the city.

Dopey me forgot to check our International Driving Permits and too late we learned that they are only valid for two years. So no car rental in Japan and that means no exploring the countryside. We tried to get new ones sent to our US mail service and they were sent on June 4, but never turned up. We found this out last week! A comedy of errors…..

Oh well, it’s 22 in Cairns and we will be there in about two weeks. And we can rent a car with our US licenses.
 
First bit of ‘adverse’ weather conditions this morning and everywhere grinds to a halt! 😤
The conditions had been predicted for several days, but of course the gritters weren’t sent out in advance of the overnight hail, so everywhere is gridlock, with crashed and abandoned vehicles littering the roads.

In England, every time it snows you'd think that it had never happened before.
So many, on the road, have no significant ability to drive in the dry yet they will happily set off in snow, expecting their modern car to sort everything out for them.
