you know when its a stormy australian summer afternoon so its boiling hot, you have all the fans and aircons on and you can hear the thunder and see the lighting off in the distance and its just the perfect time to sit down and watch pearlescentmoon.

From Australian Bureau of Meteorology Seasonal Summary of Summer 2024

If anyone asks why Australians tend to live on the coast instead of the interior, the answer is pretty obvious and doesn’t require a YouTube video claiming its odd.

Also the above article discusses the raw data on exactly how hot this summer has been. Poor Western Australia was roasted, while the east coast drowned ::hugs all my fellow Aussies::

As for Adelaide, which sits in the yellow bit with the Island and gulfs to the east of the Great Australian Bight, we had a mild summer. We blew out our rain record, but honestly that was two days in December and not much else, nothing like the east and north that had the fun of at least two cyclones. Adelaide has only had a few hot days and no major heat waves (I say that as the next few days are going to be 34, 33, 36, 39, 36 and 36 celcius, so technically there is a four day heatwave in that at least, yay for autumn).

Where I live is very dry - my car is desperate for rain to get all the bird shit and outback dust off it as we haven’t really seen any for two months. But this summer it felt like one side of the country was baking and the other drowning while we sat quite lucky with mild weather in the middle ::hugs all the Aussies::

Of course, it may be Autumn and the days are getting shorter (damnit), but we will still have some summery weather, so it isn’t finished yet. Not really until the first April rains.

I am counting my blessings, though.

I love a sunburnt country

A land of sweeping plains

Of ragged mountain ranges

Of droughts and flooding rains

it's christmas time in australia, which means it's time for the yearly 'week where we have a violent thunderstorm everyday'. truly, we are blessed.

AHHH sometimes I hate living on this side of the planet! It's not autumn here like it is on majority of the internet and I'm sad.... I'm sad in spring....

[glasseswearingrabbitdetective]

Australia can and DOES get snow!! Rly! Even in summer! Yes it’s very rare and definitely bc of climate change but I want y’all to know! Not the entire country is a wild hot place with lots of bugs and animals which y’all know but we Australian’s never actually see , unless lucky w

[ak47stylegirl]

There is literally mini tornadoes of rain out there!

(I also may have gotten stuck in said mega storm on the way home, such I am soaked to the bone )

Me, watching the rain radar to figure out when it would be most beneficial to try to go to sleep: rain should start at 2257 so if i start trying to relax at 2230 it should give me enough to time to relax but have enough time to enjoy the rain before i fall asleep....

Temperature peaked at 35°C today, which is still far too hot but better than expected.

If it's not passing the vibe check, consider instead if is the vibe check in and of itself.

That being said, Australian weather is being silly as always

It's supposed to be Spring.....you know, mild temperatures, rain, slowly warming up. No longer winter but not quite Summer. It's not supposed to immediately plunge you into the fiery depths of Hell

Definitely some water around In Karumba

It’s that time of the season for floods, we are now unable to go anywhere again due to roads getting closed off. YAY!
