Weather where you are?

First named storm of the autumn/winter battering the IOM at the moment, and apparently we were also struck by a magnitude 1 earthquake on Thursday morning. At least the recently reconstructed, and almost weather-proofed, summer house has survived so far.CFBAD2D8-A99A-4B3E-971A-B5F467546E93.jpeg
 
39 °C in Sydney today, hotest October day ever. We are a couple of months away from bushfire season. The last time it was this hot this early, we had massive fires everywhere in Summer.
 
Had couple of nasty blazes start here in NZ the last couple of days, big winds blowing, simultaneously fanning the flames and stopping the monsoon buckets…
Still an unfolding event, but nothing like you blokes get in Oz

They're getting Cat 2 cyclone level winds in Victoria, 130kph gusts, and that's heading towards us in NSW, plus dry Thunderstorms with Lightning. Hopefully not at the same time as this heat, crazy weather for this time of year.
 
Another near typhoon is supposed to hit DaNang tonight or tomorrow. Up to 600mm of rain and 100km winds. We are all stocked up on supplies, freezer filled with frozen water bottles to keep fridge cold and lots of ham and cheese for sandwiches. My scooter is moved to the lobby level garage 150cm above street level.
 
We were enjoying a respite in our alpine basin and now we have wind at 79.8 kmh and house shaking. No ride today! But at least the rain stopped! Correction - now 84.

Experienced a couple of typhoons in Thailand. Pissed down for days…… there was only one thing to do,🍺🍷🥃
 
Seems to have been cold, windy and wet here for months. Not unusual for this time of year. For anyone thinking about a bike trip to Tasmania, I wouldn't recommend the spring season. Early in the new year is usually more settled and pleasant weather.
 
In Sydney, 39c yesterday and still 29c at midnight, hotest October day since records are kept and that's 160 years, 22c with a cold wind today, and I am looking for a jumper. Just nuts

My son and family were down there for a couple of weeks, said it was a tad chilly.

Didn’t stop my grandson flicking a few lures though …… young fella would fish in a glass of water.

That big typhoon fizzled out as did the even bigger one a week later. Although the last one did leave a fair amount of debris on the sand, it was pretty much cleaned up by 36 hours later. The past few days have been clear and bright, so much that we spent a few hours at the beach yesterday. However it is still the rainy season and it is predicted to be wet the next two days. Supposedly the wet season will start to taper off around the first of December.
 
Winter must have arrived in the IOM, a couple of mm of snow and a bit of ice and the mountain road is shut as the majority of drivers can’t quite work out how to drive to the conditions. 🙁
