We have a huge family get together here tomorrow - really hoping it stays dry and warm enough to spill over into the garden

I have a Parasol and it isn't waterproof anymore! Maybe washing it ruined it, though I have tried to reproof it. Hope Mr Boogie has a dry weekend.

"The Bureau of Meteorology has declared a third La Nina is underway, pointing to another summer of heavy rains on the east coast.
The bureau on Tuesday announced the weather event was impacting the tropical Pacific, with a third-straight spring and summer of above-average rainfall likely to smash eastern Australia."

Yes I have watched closely as La Nina moved from 'watch' to 'alert' to 'its a bl00dy done deal'.
We missed the heat (and the bushfires thankfully) in 2019 as we were freezing our toes off in the UK and Europe. Followed by two cool wet summers and now another one! I love the heat and this is very depressing

Honestly, I can't really complain and Melbourne's summer last year was close to perfect. We didn't cop the wet that you guys did and had a long and sunny summer without a day over 40.
I just think we can't possibly be that lucky again!

Well no sign of La Nina for the past few days, early twenties and gloriously sunny
We've changed the pool mode to 'Summer' meaning it will start heating (solar heating). Thursday it was 17 and today it is 20 already! Too cold for us yet but I said to Steve "I bet @Joy from the labrador friends forum would be brave enough to swim 'cos I've seen her post about swimming in the sea in England when it would be much colder!"

@Lab_adore Oh yes I'd be in like a shot! (I don't actually swim in very cold water - it needs to be at least 14c - but there are a whole group of people local to me who swim in the sea or river all year round.)

That's because it's here
15mm of rain, plus hail today. The rain broke late today so Ella and I raced out for a quick walk. Thank goodness I wore my hiking boots as it was so wet under foot.

Worried about Canada’s East Coast tonight. Hurricane Fiona looks to be on track for scoring a direct hit on parts of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton in particular. It’s going to be a long night for them. Looks like it will be a Category 3 when it hits land.

It’s not over yet in the East Coast. Most of the power is out in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, but reports of many downed trees, etc. PEI and southwest Newfoundland taking a hard hit at the moment. Looks like it was Category 2 when it hit, thankfully. But I think it will be a couple more hours before we know the extent of the damage.

Just looking at the highest wind gusts recorded during Fiona’s landfall - one place recorded 179 kph

Yes there’s a lot of clean up to do yet. I’m not sure they know the extent of the damage yet and lots are without power still. A couple of places got really walloped.
