Temperatures in some areas in the State of Victoria, Australia were 41degC (105.8) today with gusty winds and of course the winds changing. We here in Tasmania experienced similar but not quite as hot. We had a few spits of rain later this afternoon and now the sun is shinning.
Today was the Hobart Cup a horse race, it was postponed due to the high winds, and from news reports many a roof was lost and blown onto a Highway and surrounding areas in Hobart which is about 200km (124miles) down south from Launceston.
Down south a man lost his life when a tree hit his car and killed him whilst the wild storm was passing through.
A bit of debris at the venue of the Hobart Cup today.
The weather is playing havoc all over the world!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have heard you are correct on that!
DeleteSo terrible about the fire, wind and extreme heat.
ReplyDeleteNot Good Mildred, and the fires in Victoria are still raging.
DeleteI am so sorry about the fires and the dreadful heat. The snow here is never ending but nothing so tragic as the fires!
ReplyDeleteFloods and fires, both not good. Won't be long till spring, and even short to our Autumn.
Deletethe wind sure did make a mess
ReplyDeleteIt did, I have since seen worse.
