Rains gone and now the summer heat!

The rain has finally cleared down south, tho parts of northern Queensland are still getting a drenching and the heavy rains have resulted localised flooding cutting off several major Queensland towns.

A friend sent me this weather analysis from Far North Queensland (FNQ in 'Aussie lingo):

That's an awful lot of rain in reasonably elevated temperatures resulting in an intolerably 'muggy' weather every day!

Well meanwhile, down South, we now have had our first 30C+ day since 2oth April 2010 - Must be a record - and are now getting 'clay-bakers' of days! Azure blue clear skies - not a cloud in site, at least until late afternoon when we get the promise of a late thunderstorm, that (if it comes) cools things down for five minutes and then turns into a warm humid evening.
