So, how bout that weather?

@mariner4life said in Summer Storm:
ah yes, the Cyclone recovery special. Lots of ice in the Tropical Ice Box (won't melt for days) to keep the beers cold. And a heap of meat on the BBQ. What power?
Meanwhile, in the Tropics, we're crying out for rain after the driest and hottest December ever. Go you halves?
Bit of rain around SEQ over the last week (55mm NYE and pleasant evening storms 4 nights in a row). Thought some of it reached north ... obviously not as far as you?
Careful what you wish for though Mariner. These Qld droughts have a habit of ending somewhat spectacularly (ExTC Oswald being one example ... )

I just heard a bit of thunder. There's flooding in parts of the Hutt. Perfect excuse not to leave the house and avoid human contact as much as possible.
Ah, the biannual one in one hundred year Lower Hutt flood. Do you really need an excuse not to leave the house and avoid the denizens of lower hutt?

A couple of storage boxes got flipped on my courtyard, but otherwise nothing major (Auckland central). Feel for those without power etc, especially with kids! Good luck @Virgil...
Fuck.. latest update has power restored no earlier then 8pm tonight!!
Better empty the beer fridge. Don't want the contents going off.... 🍻
And you better get down to the bottly for some extra cold ones as the more cold ones you have in there the less time it takes to cool down.
This all makes smart sense
And a round trip via the nearest KFC outside the power cut area for a bucket of wicked wings or original recipe to balance out the beersies!
Sounding like a fucking holiday now, not a "Summer Storm"
What's Virgil bitchin about?
Kids! The kids fighting, saying they are bored then back to fighting again
Beersies don’t do shit with kids!Wait till the wifi goes down and things really get medieval.
We had no wifi or internet either other than the data from our phones,
Spark topped us up free of charge but trouble is how fast the battery drains on your phone when your using 4G.Wait... What?

Why does everyone keep saying that?

So just catching up with all the threads I missed while on holiday.
Must admit it was surreal lying in bed in Singapore watching the Northern Motorway under flood .. for a nano-second I actually considered what a shit day all my staff would be having - before heading off to the pool.
Serious flooding here in Albany this morning. Metre deep on the road outside - three hours later you can't even tell it has rained.

Another one on the way. It would appear that NZ is now tropical rather than temperate.
It's all going pretty much the way the climate change scientists said it would. It could be an aberration but I have been recording weather data for years and this isn't good IMO.

and where is said storm aiming? and when? I'm flying in to Auckland tomorrow, and after what appears a sunny hot summer I'll be pissed if the weather is shit all weekend!

@mariner4life Worst will be down South Island on Thursday. Weekend looks good - you might be surprised at just how hot it is, even for Cairns guy.

You haven't been having the changeable weather up there that we've had here? Grey and humid on the weekend, nice and dry and sunny last two days, now we've got about 4 days or rain and low temperatures.

@taniwharugby said in Summer Storm:
@snowy less sun about but humidity and heat still there.
This was about 5.15 a couple of days ago...
20 litres per 100km?
What are you driving, an F1 car? -
@nepia been a strange summer. Late start to the wet season resulted in some scorching temps over New Years (hottest driest December for yonks apparently). Then it rained a fuck load, cooled everything off, now it's sunny again, and humid as frig.
We are due a really wet Feb apparently, which is good, because we need it. Dam levels have got pretty low (we get heaps of rain, but have nowhere to store it, because, you know, short sighted governments and greenies).
