If the forecast temps for the last 3 days of the month come off, it will make August 2023 the second hottest ( for max temps ) since records began at the Airport in 1941. And only 3 times has the August mean max temp exceeded 33c. 2021 - 33.4c 2023 - 33.3c ( projected ) 2017 - 33.1c     Here are the 1941-1970 and 1991-2020 figures.... as you can see, the Augusts have warmed substantially re max temps ( 0.9c )   |

Been a tough few days for the equatorial plants in the garden....yes, yes... I know I shouldn't grow 'em. Dp's as low as 6.5c and hot dessicating easterlies atm. No sea breeze yet.....  Ahh, the sea breeze has just pushed in, so a change in wind direction, the max temp dropping and humidity and DP's rising...  |
