Last night around 10 pm a southerly storm arrived suddenly. I went round and closed all the open windows. Rain lashed, wind, where gusts normally rock the house, was almost vibrating the house, sheets of lightning flashed frequently and thunder rumbled.
This morning we had a wee earthquake …
@Miraz and then a rain of frogs?
(Don’t want to suggest “birds falling from the sky” because that one might yet happen in 2025.)
@Miraz there's always something happening in Aotearoa! That said, I would love that southerly to arrive on my doorstep right now, it's just a tad below 35 C here in Newcastle and I'm not a huge fan of temps that high.
@Miraz and just for a complete curveball, we’ve got a southerly front forecast to come through at 9pm tonight, and the next few days will be breezy with highs of 22-24 C. 🤯
