Melbourne weather - Don't you love it!

Post by Daz9R »

Forecast today was the possibility of a shower or 2.
So I thought OK I should be right with the Summer textile jacket and a pair of draggins.
The trip home from work was not a great deal of fun.

The wind was a bit ordinary, but I can live with that.
The rain wasnt so bad as it wasn't cold at all.
The hail however left a bit to be desired.

I did have a laugh at all the Sooky car drivers who pulled off the road because of the conditions.

Lyndhurst about 5pm.
Hail didn't last that long but was bloody painful through a thin jacket.

Winds north to northwesterly averaging up to 30 km/h, increasing to 40 km/h ahead of a west to southwesterly change 20 to 35 km/h during the early afternoon.
