We’ve had a fairly mild summer but it has been very humid. We should be more than ready for Opening Round in Brisbane.
There's humidity and there's Brisbane humidity.
I haven't been outside since October
)That's not exactly true.
I got sunburnt in the shade at 8.00am in the morning at Auskick last week.

It seems that BoM may have got the forecast wrong.
The temperature is in the mid 20s here on the Bellarine Peninsula but it's overcast and not at all as you'd expect for a day in the high 30s. I just checked the rain radar and there's light rain approaching from the west. It's over the bushfire area now but is probably more nuisance value than a help.

The people of North Queensland will be shocked to hear that a BoM could get a forecast wrong.

Weather update; overcast, 25 degrees, humid and light rain falling at my place.
I believe it's a bit warmer in Melbourne but it is raining there now.

VFL side lost by 29 points - from the highlights, Williams and Kennedy looked good.

35 in the northern suburbs now, with no clouds.
Bit of a swirly breeze again, although not quite as bad as our last game.
