The Perth Thread - Part 4

So, seriously, enough with the shit weather. If I wanted to live in Glasgow I'd move there.

Wind is the worst type of weather.

The weather was wet and wild last night, there was even a tornado in City Beach that did quite a lot of damage.

Freak tornado 'like a jet engine' damages homes in Perth

Residents say a freak tornado that ripped through Perth's coastal suburbs sounded "like a jet engine" as it fell trees and tore up the roofs of homes.

There is much nicer weather today but it is still pretty cold with a forecast maximum of just 14 degrees.

100% wind sucks.
over here, every Sep and Oct as the weather warms it also gets windy as land warms up and you get terrible onshore winds.
its such a tease because coming out of winter its warm, beach looks inviting and its blowing a gale.
lasts a good 4-6 weeks before it settles

ive seen some good photos and vids from the storm

I’m over winter

 

[blueboy25]

Very chilly this morning folks

 

[ep2018]

The last few winters have been warmer than usual, which makes this winter feel colder than it is? Almost unbearable cold imo.

I've been wearing a jumper and trackies to bed every night the past couple weeks, the last few years just a shirt and boxers.

It was 0.3 degrees on Friday morning with several spots in the metropolitan area felling below zero. Pearce recorded -0.3, Perth Airport and Millendon (Swan Valley) dropped to -0.8 while Jandakot fell to -1.3.

Gingin was the coldest in the state with -2.2.

The good news is we've passed 2022 and 2023 for YTD rainfall.

26, 17, 26, 10, 41 mm in the space of the last week. Hopefully at least some runoff/groundwater soak from that.

It is sunny today and my house feels like an igloo. My house is old but we really should be better at this by now.

I was in Perth on the weekend, I wouldn't even call it cold compared to the wheatbelt.

Wouldn’t know a good frost if it iced up their lattes

My fingers disagree after hopping on the bike first thing this morning. Though once I got closer to the Swan and full sun coverage, it was glorious.

City of Joondalup have stopped all sport trainings on their ovals from yesterday until friday to help the grounds recover from the recent rains. Some ovals are in really bad shape due to the amount of traffic they get on them. I believe City of Wanneroo have done the same.

Cue my surprise when I walked past my local oval this morning which is home to a large junior and senior football club and the sprinklers are on.

Great effort COJ

CoJ have to be about the worst local government these days don't they? Led the way on sucking as much cash as possible out of community and sports clubs and have spent $0.00 on the facilities or playing fields.

Just what the good residents in the city of Joondalup need

I hear your mate Ian Goodenough is running for mayor

He wasn't even good enough to be the liberal party candidate.

Finally a few sunny days. Soak up that heat while you can people this shit aint over yet.

 

[Forward Press]

Beerfish and moaning about cold weather, name a more iconic duo.

I kid, I kid.

Anyone watching the Fever in the Grand Final this weekend?

Anyone watching the Fever in the Grand Final this weekend?

Can't say I am but they are pretty well supported. Got 11,000 to the last game and the GF is sold out. Had no idea it was that popular. Pity I don't like netball, would be nice to support a Perth team that doesn't stink.

I know a West Australian team that's going alright if that helps.
