Urgh ...

It is 37C here today, which is 98.6 in Fahrenheit. I believe we may have sorbet for dinner. There is STILL A MONTH OF SPRING TO GO. Apparently, I am going to die in summer, alas.

And if there are any anthropogenic climate change deniers out there, just keep it to yourself as I am liable to blow steam out of my ears at the moment. I miss the days of simple El Niños ...

I hope the dessert bar has council approval. And opens soon. And is full of iced desserts and a wee bit of air-conditioning. I'm happy to pay extra for their carbon offsets!

I think we already are in an El Niño. We're doing that crazy cycle of cool and rainy for a couple of days, which then starts to warm and become humid, then one stupidly hot day where the temp jumps 5-10 deg from the previous day (hot winds optional depending on where you are), then a thunderstorm and we're back at the beginning again. That's the weather patten (for Wollongong anyway) that I tend to associate with us being in an El Niño.

Yes we are and have been for a while (er, since it was on the news ... sort of recently ...) However the El Niño/La Niña cycle is completely out of whack due to sea temperatures being likewise. I've had it! I want my years of gentle girl child weather! And soft falling rain! ARGH!

Come south to where I am. We get gentle rain. Any storms hit further south, then come up past us out to sea so we get milder rain with some great light shows, then it heads north and circles back in to smack Sydney.

We're having gorgeous gentle drizzle right now. All my little seedlings I planted on the weekend are perking up after looking a bit sad yesterday.
