Exciting Start to 2011

As noted by Mini-Rob earlier, the forecast for the New Year is exciting for weather-watchers.


After the hottest year ever, 2011 shows ominous signs of being even hotter. I predict that by mid-week there'll be high levels of grumpiness in Perth, and I'll be sleeping on the back lawn to stay cool.

UPDATE - It turns out that this forecast was merely a prank, perpetrated on us by the Bureau of Meteorology on us hapless citizens - there were never going to be four days of 40. Well they've hoaxed us one too many times. From now on, I will switch permanently to Weatherzone.com for all forecasts. After all, who else has the ability to determine the weather inside Floreat Forum?

  4. Lady Gaga, you're terrible !

    And Mini-Rob, I'm a bit disappointed about the cool change. IT would have been an adventure surviving Baghdad style heat.

  5. Forecast for Wednesday:
    Rain periods developing with the chance of a thunderstorm.

    Would a rain dance help, Lewk???

  6. No point rain-dancing. The promised rain is as likely to appear as Ricky Ponting is to get a century. Even our rain-dancing would have no effect.

  8. I should have had more faith in BOM like yourself. How did I ever doubt them?
