I presume you are referring to this:

Quote:
The extreme heat in central Australia saw the weather bureau add new colours to its forecast maps yesterday:

deep purple for 50 degrees Celsius to 52 degrees Celsius; and
magenta for 52 degrees Celsius to 54 degrees Celsius.

Yesterday, the bureau's forecast maps for Sunday and Monday showed a deep purple area over the South Australian outback.

However, those forecasts have been revised today, with forecast temperatures no longer hitting the purple range.

About half-way up the west coast, the town of Winslow is about to get grazed by a category 3 or 4 cyclone.


That's not for a day or so yet, so in the meanwhile, here's a beer tsunami after a humungous explosion at the brewery crazy dust storm complete with thunder and lightning, rain and hail (according to FB posts) that drifted out to sea.

Thanks, V, I just noticed that then.


Uhh, umm, I couldn't read the sign properly because of all the dust! Yes, that's it....

We're hoping for snow on Monday.
It's unlikely to hit us until after school, but I might get to walk to school in it on Tuesday morning. Yay! New peacock wellies all set and ready for action.

Rain. Slow, steady, soak things down rain. ooohhhhh yeeeaahhhh baby. It seems pretty local around Adelaide at present, I hope it drifts slowly across the whole South East of the country.
