How's Your Weather Today?

[Digger]

30°C and more for the last few days
Italian summer has finally reached the northern part of the Adriatic Sea


and the good thing is - it is supposed to be the same in Germany when we're at home again on Friday

It's gonna be 20 c here on Sunday and that isn't bad for Winter!! Enjoy your remaining time there Peter.

50's and rain yesterday and today.

 

[Digger]

14c max forecast and it was a cold clear night, in fact we have "crunchy grass" again, our second frost for the season.

 

[Digger]

And again today (Friday), not sure about frost as I haven't been out yet but apparently we are expecting a few showers.

 

[Alty]

Nice today, about 20ish, some cloud about but the Sun dodged most of it....it won't last....

 

[IGRocker]

I honestly don't even know what it was like today... I worked 11am-9:30pm. Nothing beats filling in for the boss at least I only have a 2 minute drive uptown or a 15 sprint the long way out of town to my favorite backroad and then home

 

[Paruwi]

34°C today.....

 

[Digger]

18 c here today to cap off a weeks of colder temperatures, and a few frosts. All sunny days though and predicted showers did not materialise.

Now 18 isn't bad for a winter's day IMO.

Are you back home Peter? Have a good holiday mate?

 

[Paruwi]

Are you back home Peter? Have a good holiday mate?

Yep, we've traveled yesterday
no more pizza, pasta & pool for some weeks

19c (66 f ) and fine here today. A beautiful day for Winter!

Our crappy weather is usually over July & August so that's when we get down to daytime temps of 8c.

It's a long weekend here this weekend so the place is full of tourists and I'm not moving from the property until they go home.

Peter that resort in Italy is so close to the sea don't people swim in the ocean rather than the pools? If not, why not?

You would have driven there wouldn't you? How far from home was it?

I drove down the 800 km in 8 hours, just a few minutes break for smoking

the sea is a 15 minute walk or a few minutes with a shuttle-bus,
the Mrs. and the kids go there every year to buy some bath-towels from some traveling salesmen, it's kind of 'turkish bazar' deals
I've been at the beach when we were there the first time in 2012,
lot's of jellyfish, algaes and other things you don't want to swim in....

So the pool is just fine for drinking beer

 

[Digger]

800 kilometres in 8 hours is a good average Pete.

You don't make the conditions in the sea sound very enticing but I suppose we have places that are similar at times. The sea is part of most Aussies makeup and a pool would be second choice for us, though in northern climes in Summer, stingers see people needing to swim in pools there. It's very much a beach culture here and I am fortunate to spend a lot of time in absolutely pristine and beautiful locations.

Then we do have a rather long coastline~

Then there is the beer...Grin~

 

[Paruwi]

I would like a beach like this (in Croatia)

compared to this....

I need to see my own feet...

 

[Digger]

If I don't stop eating soon I won't be able to see my feet!!

Yes that Croatian beach is beautiful and I would like to go spearfishing there. (if I wasn't so old)

[Digger]

This is one of mine and it's 90 miles long....pristine!

 

[IGRocker]

It looks like the first day of the Hot Rod Power Tour will have some rain, so not too good for the 6000+ (yes, that many!) cars considering most are set up with racing slicks.

Oh Pete, me and my dad averaged 100 today too.... But that was in MPH and we weren't even keeping up with our group of cars Also we only drove 70 or so miles (110km or so I think). I'm signing off now, you guys probably won't hear from me until Tuesday or Wednesday. I don't think I want to push my Firebird's tired old engine the whole week.... But just maybe...

It's time to rock and roll

 

[Digger]

Another 19c day today. The first week of Winter has been great!

We are anticipating a dryer and warmer time ahead of us this year with the ocean temperatures to the north of us indicating an el nino. That means drought sand bush fires later on this year. I suspect that it also means that you guys in the northern hemisphere will get our rains as that seems to me to be the pattern having watching it for a few years.

 

[Alty]

It was reported we were having a wet weekend but it's been great....even warmer today than Friday....our weather reports are useless....but enjoyed them getting it wrong.

 

[IGRocker]

Thankfully there's wifi at the hotel. The Power Tour has been great so far! The weather was nice until about 4pm or so, and then we hit a band of some nasty storms. It's still raining now. I just hope it's over by the time I get up tomorrow...

Oh, tomorrow might unfortunately be my last day of the Tour. My transmission has been crunching into gear at anything except a super easy take off. Kinda takes the fun out of it all! I'd rather not blow it up though

Fingers crossed that it holds together for you.
