The temperature out here a little over half-an-hour ago. And I foolishly rode my bike to work today instead of driving, so there'll definitely be an evening shower when I get home. Though, thanks be to God, the humidity is rather low [rather than the 90% or so -- at least it feels like that -- we get around February], so it is a bit more bearable -- for me at least.
The Bureau of Meterology has quite a good website, with a number of interesting features. You can check temperatures via a clickable map [that link is for New South Wales]; there is a great new area showing rainfall forecasts [and you can drill down to the state/territory level] -- though, unfortunately, there's hardly any of it: we are in the middle of a crippling drought; and there is an interesting educational section on climate as well. The weather is part of a lot of conversation down here, at least at my work, and I find it all rather fascinating: so I enjoy looking around at all this information available.
