25.01.2022 I keep seeing posts with hot pink regions of heat and so I would like to draw attention to the BOMs heatwave maps that show where the worst of the heatwave is. The rest is low intensity. Make sure you drink lots of water and stay out of the heat. It is almost summer, it gets hot.

24.01.2022 I have had a look at some long range rainfall models now and I don't like posting them because they tend to be over optimistic and the locations vary way too much, but it is looking reasonable for after the 12th. These are just 2 24 hour rainfall totals, tending towards the heavier. These days will change tho. Its just an indicator.

23.01.2022 Storms mainly top end today, small chance for the ranges around Townsville.

22.01.2022 31.9C with 29knot gusts from the ENE. #wallysweatheraustralia

21.01.2022 3q.8C today with 23knot gusts from the ENE. #wallysweatheraustralia

20.01.2022 The Monsoon pulse for region 6 which is WA to the NT is due within 2 weeks now. And as I pointed out earlier, the GFS model is favouring a tropical low in the Indian Ocean then.

18.01.2022 Showers along the tropical coast from about 2am ish to 8am ish. Not a lot but the towers climbing out over the water indicate some uplift. We just need them to drift our way.

17.01.2022 Been a while since we had gone to the Warrina Otto's. #tastesoftownsville #supportlocaltownsville #ottostyle

16.01.2022 22.8C last night with 31C today and 16knot ENE average winds. #wallysweatheraustralia

15.01.2022 21.7C last night, 32C with 15knot average winds. #wallysweatheraustralia

15.01.2022 So we have probably just reached the low point of the cycle of SOI which is where High pressure normally pushes SE up but we got more ridge and trough activity. So we now head towards the peak of the SOI and close to the peak is where the rain should pick up but this time more influenced by low pressure activity in the Coral Sea. That should be around end of November to start of December. Just to sum up, La Nina is still technically not here, or the SOI would have been in the blue region. So we should not expect higher than average rain yet. What this post is saying, is when the next chance of showers is. Don't be expecting rain unless you are right under a storm from the trough or Ridge moving up the coast in 4 weeks. This is not a rain forecast, it is an SOI peak forecast.

12.01.2022 32.3C with 20knot ENE gusts. #wallysweatheraustralia

09.01.2022 25.3C last night. 32C today with afternoon winds reaching 13knot average from the ENE. #wallysweatheraustralia

09.01.2022 31.3C with 24knot Easterly gusts.

07.01.2022 This weekend we should see the cloud over the North of WA and NT increase, this is what the MJO indicates, and so we should also see the synoptic show a slight appearance of the monsoon trough possibly, but well North near the equator. Rain increasing in this area with a possible tropical low forming close to land. The MJO pulse should move over to QLD between the 15th and 21st of December.

07.01.2022 Calling Elvis... Let's see of anyone gets that one...

06.01.2022 25.3C overnight, with 32C today and 12knot NE winds. Bit of a wait for Fish and Chips this morning. :) #wallysweatheraustralia

05.01.2022 I miss the water so much...

04.01.2022 Some may say I'm wishing my days away...

04.01.2022 31.6C with 19knot Northerlies. Stunning day. #wallysweatheraustralia

03.01.2022 A day full of encouragement. I had a work colleague give me some words of encouragement, then I noticed someone donated to the running of the page, and a long term friend is sending some tropical gold. It has been a tough year to find encouragement but today sure made up for it. Thanks to those people, you know who you are and you all made my day. Here is some of the joy I get from living here. #wallysweatheraustralia
