@TheSirfurryanimalWales It is not pleasant here. Cold ears, cold nose, cold fingers and cold toes. 😄

@Gusman Finally 24mm rain...now sunny.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@KiwiBird Yeah, no need to water the garden for a few days. Still raining here. Very light though.
Gusman · 61-69, M
Pitch is under water now.
10 minute downpour, right on half time.
Game will not resume because of all the standing water.
Gusman · 61-69, M
Rainfall for the last 6 days up to 9am Saturday is 149.6mm, 5.8".
Up to 20mm more to fall, today and tomorrow.

@Gusman any flooding?
Gusman · 61-69, M
@deadgerbil Some places were flooded. Perth Airport had a river running through it's corridors.
Freeway was closed due to too much water to drive through.
A minimal number of houses had ankle deep water. As I say, Perth, being on a sand plain, most water gets away very quickly.

Absolutely pelting down right now. Soccer field might be under water real soon.
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@Gusman use it as a swimming pool
Gusman · 61-69, M
@deadgerbil Could row a canoe on it right now. Posted pics just now

Sunny and 25 here....although there is a significant wind chill factor. I am having to water my vege garden. Western Australia have used up all our allotted rainfall it seems. We are forecast 1-6 mm tomorrow.

Since your doing rf in mm and inches.....how about in points, after all I am in a rural area. To save you googling there are 100 points to the inch. 413.13 points or thereabouts

@KiwiBird Let's just say that a lot of rain has fallen, and is still falling.
How are you handling it?
Gusman · 61-69, M
@PoetryNEmotion I am at work, the temperature has risen to 10C. 50F.
Heavy rain squalls, hail, thunder and lightning. Supposed to ease by tonight.
Perth rarely gets this kind of weather, 10 degrees maximum at 1pm? Unheard of.

@Gusman our weather has been unusual as well. The seasons are lasting longer and into the next moth and a half. But the rainy season also came with hailstorms, high winds, cooler weather and flash floods.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Mindful Our Summers appear to be hotter and longer than I remember.
We are living in interesting times.🙂

Gusman · 61-69, M
@Wol62 Working in a large factory with large sliding doors open. Frigid wind was blasting through the workshop.
Very unusual for Perth to be so cold during the day.
Monday was Perth’s highest recorded 24 hour June rainfall since June 22 1993, at 71mm.
3 days of rainfall this month, 1st, 5th and 6th of June has seen 105mm - 4 1/8th" dumped on the Perth metropolitan catchment.
Stay warm and dry mate
Gusman · 61-69, M
@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Hard to stay warm when starting work at 5am. 8 degrees right now at 4.37am. 🙂
deadgerbil · 26-30, M

Gusman · 61-69, M
