Just saying Hello and ...

Post by rsfoto »

... I am still alive ...

Hi,

:lol: Here I am under a never ending cloud layer and Rain as we have never had in any this years before ...

Just only in the last 31 days we had 194 mm of rain eg. 194 liters per square meter. The normal yearly average here in this area is 300 mm per Year !

Since I set up my new Weather station it has reported since May around 490 mm of rain ...

Apart from having an Observatory now we have also a private lake :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Oh my!! half a meter of rain, you are putting even the UK to shame ;)

It won't do your Cacti any good, but chin up Rainer, when the Sun eventually comes out we will be having nothing but rain instead :(

Wow Rainer. I have wondered where you had been. It looks like a deluge there! Did the wind manage to blow down the neighbors palm tree??

Hi Reiner, glad you're okay. Please send me a photo of a neighbor's palm tree. In a couple of weeks, when we have no leaves on the trees, I will look at her and think that it is warm somewhere :)

Hi Rainer, can I swap the strong gusty winds we've been having in Brisbane the last week or so, for some of your rain, it's bone dry where we are with a high bushfire alert. I hope your conditions improve ,I look forward to seeing your disks again.
