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. Big Grin

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. Smile)

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.

29 degrees here in West Gippsland (4pm), cloudy, sprinkling of very light rain that dries on impact with the ground. Light winds.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

The clouds have all but disappeared and it's quite hot in direct sunlight now.

Yep, an hour or two back about 3pm it looked like it was going to cool off early, now it seems hotter than ever.

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

Highlights package on the CFC website.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

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