I have lived in Sydney for 13 years,--i am originally from Melbourne-- and
one of the major differences i have observed between the two cities is the
temperature drop from the onset of a southerly change.
In Melbourne, when a southerly moves thru the temperature usually suffers a
big drop. I recall not long ago after a string of hot days and nites, that
the change moved thru early morning, and the temperature had dropped under
15 degrees from mid 30s-40s that day.
Whereas, i have noticed in Sydney, the southerly change is usually less
subtle. Instead of going from 35 to 15, the temps drop only a few degrees. I
remember being up here the first year,it was a hot day, and the weatehr
report told us that the southerly change had pushed thru over all of sydney,
yet the temperature had only change by about 3 degrees. We were bemuzed,
looking for drizzle, and ready to turn on the heater.
This summer however, it has been more Melbourne like, with the temps falling
much more than they usually would. This is certainly not the " typical
heatwave/southerly thing". Much too much difference in the temperature
falls.

Why did you send a program (Happy99.exe) which had a possible virus on it for?
I have had warnings of this program so in future do not send programs such
as this over the NET.
If you are not sure if you sent this or not, please check your computer for
the latest virus.

Hi all,
This is just a caution note, I received this personal email thismorning,
from someone on the list attached to the email was the program happy99.exe.
I have heard that this program contains a virus, I am not game to try it
out, so for now I will keep clear of it.
If it is the same program, you will see firework on the screen or something
similar, then, it starts affecting your email, going through your
attachments and attaching it'self and being send accross the net for
someone else to open it.
I got that information from http://www.e-musicbox.com/happy99virus.htm who
apparently had a bad case of Happy99.
http://www.goldenplace.dk/Crosswinds.net/help12.htm <---here is a good
description of the virus and what it does.
Please be careful!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a possible virus, it's a trojan horse which propogates itself by altering your
mail settings so that it sends itself, once run.
No nasties beside this except for the fireworks display when its run first time.
Get a decent virus scanner - it'll remove it.

Hi all,
I know some people have commented on this - but I thought I would let
other people know, that the person who sent this DID NOT INTENTIONALLY
SEND THIS - for the record, the virus is able to attach itself to
emails, and sends itself - so the person does not even know they sent
it! The best thing is just to delete it.

Hi Everyone,
Some further heavy rain in northern Queensland overnight - Tully took
the cake in a big way, recording 260mm in the 18 hours to 3am this
morning.. other totals (all to 3am this morning) include Cardwell 137mm,
Cairns 129mm, Normanton 127mm, Ignham 123mm and Lucinda 97mm..
The Tully river is flooding, and it's expected to peak later on today
cutting the Bruce Highway - should make the news for sure if it does cut
the highway..
The Herbert river is also in flood, with MAJOR flooding around the
Halifix area..
I added a report to BSCH yesterday about the heavy rain, and i'll be
writing up another report tonight by the looks of it.. just a reminder
that the reports in the Recent Events section are added within 24 hours
of the event (normally within a few hours), and i don't post many URL's
for reports to the list..

[snip Sydney Heat stuff]
My native measure of heat intensity is an ancient tree fern
in a sheltered and shaded position in our front yard. The
last time that this fern got burned to the extent that it
did on Saturday was during February in 1998...Prior to that
was the during the bush fires of 1994 and on at least 5
other occasions during its 50-year life. Whether this tree
fern is burned or not depends on two factors 1) The ambient
temperature and 2) the reflected solar radiation intensity.
Each factor on its own has never been enough to burn this
fern in it's 50+ year life, according to the now deceased
original owners of our home. But when both heat and the
reflected solar radiation strike with maximum intensity,
as was Saturday, February 5, 2000, it is very damaging to
this fern. On this occasion, the burning was more severe
than in both 1994 and 1998.

Sorry Guys,
My Brother opened it stupidly with some of his email from a
person who also didn't know he had it. Luckily i haven't sent it to 3500 people
like he did. If anyone did open it and have it now on their computer i suggest
this page.
and download the Happy99 cleaner. It will delete it out of
your computer and tell you who you have sent it to.

Hi all from a soggy Proserpine,
Good to see our northern neighbours are getting some rain too Desley.
Update on central coast rainfall
My records now, mm to 0600 EST each morning:
Fri 4th 27.5
Sat 5th 41
Sun 6th 143
Mon 7th 111
plus another 15 mm to current time 1050 EST
Predictions for showers to ease, we'll see. Radar indicates most activity to
the north - Ayr to Cardwell, but still plenty of cloud streaming onto the
central coast.
Road cut around Ingham for a while, and the QGR line. Reported total of 356
mm in catchment of Peter Faust Dam, west of Proserpine which increased its
content from 46% to 50% full. Largest unofficial recording for period of 720
mm from a farm 15 km NW of Eungella, which is about 80 km west of Mackay in
the ranges. Don river was in minor flood as previously reported - most of
this water came from well upstream in the catchment south of Collinsville.
Water over highway south of Proserpine, but road not closed. Local keen
barramundi fishermen casting lures off the side of the highway, and
reportedly catching fish - and I'm working!
Regards,
Bill,
Proserpine NQ.

You may be hitting on something there Michael - The solar intensity here on
saturday was much the same - very extreme. I got very sunburnt washing a car -
in like 15 mins - maybe there was a solar flare etc? Anyone with astronomical
persuasion here know?

garden from 0630 to 1130 (I could not go past 1130), that
by about 0900, I was complaining to my wife about how intense
the heat was. I could feel Sol penetrating deeply:-) The
temperature in the shade wasn't that high, maybe just 27C,
but that Sun burned something fierce to the extent that I
don't remember ever experiencing before. I put 30+ blockout
on my neck and arms then donned a decent hat...I forgot
about the poor plants until I noticed some dipping their
leaves in a sick sort of way later in the afternoon. We
noticed our ancient fern's damage late in the evening while
watering...
I'm beginning to wonder whether we (Australia) are the
victim of severe ozone depletion. An "Ozone Hole" for want
of a better term to describe this phenomena. If there are
any maps around, could someone in the know please post the
URL?

I have posted some new pics to my site, they are Johns pics that he took
from chasing them for a week near Mildura recently. He saw about 600 whilst
chasing for just a few hours everyday and they are worth a look believe me.
Some of em look just like the base of small tornadoes, John also shot anout
2hrs worth of video. Its at http://www.upnaway.com/~jra/weather.html then

Michael,
>From what I can gather, ozone over SE Aust was up to 10% below
average for that day - probably not outside the range of
normal variability.
According to the Ozone depletion FAQ at:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/ozone-depletion/intro/
Aspendale, Melbourne should have the following Dobson units:
300 (Jan), 280 (April), 335 (July) and 360 (Oct)
The maps for Saturday (addresses below) suggest a reading
closer to 270 units - an extension south of the (normally) ozone
thinner tropical air (and the ozone layer appears to be thinnest
of all in the tropical regions to Australia's north).

pilbara and hit Karratha 5 hrs later at 4am with Squalls and heavy rain...26mm
from that storm.
This is a sat loop of the Sat night/sun morning
storm..thanx to Ben Quinn for making the loop :) http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/archiveddata/otherstates/wa/05-02-2000/satpicloo%5b.gif
Then Last night/early this morning we had TWO!
Squall lines move thru 1hr apart from each other, first at 1.30am then the next
at about 2.30. I was out getting video during the whole event :)
hehe
19mm and a Gust of 38knots!
Will be Capturing Video off the camera

Hi Jason & all.
We have had very similar weather here lately too.
Rain is:
last night til 9am - 62mm
6.2 - 20mm
5.2 - 8mm
4.2 - 23mm
All from overnight gusty storms with impressive ragged low squall lines.
Yesterday arvos was the best - looked like the world was coming to end - with
how dark it was - and rain lasted most of the night. Currently Low near Jabiru
with some more squall lines forming to the East. Maximum gust recorded was
43knots.
Conditions are expected to deteriorate later this arvo / tomorrow as Low nears
coast.
Paul.

It is showing up well on radar, and that area ( Cooma - Bombala ) is on the
boundaries of radar, from experience if there is anything showing on radar
it will be much bigger and nastier at ground level. I think the new Captains
Flat radar will be a revelation, I expect severe warnings to go through the
roof for the area.
I can actually see the cirrus from the anvil from here in the south of the
Illawarra.

Howdy Michael, Patrick & anors.
I found this map that the BOM put oout - may help a little as well Michael.
http://www.bom.gov.au/sat/solrad.shtml
Shows that yesterday we had 30 megajoules of sunlight per sq metre! Wowsers no
wonder I got burnt!
Paul.
Ps Weather here is now starting to deteriorate quickly as the Low picks up some
extra instability. The Low is centred near darwin itself - and the radar loops
show it quite well.

REMARKS - The low
is currently over the Topend near Jabiru, and has started to
move
westward. It is expected to move into the Timor Sea tomorrow and
travel
close to the Kimberley coast over the next few days. The
environment is
favourable for cyclone development in a few days if the
cyclone spends some time
over water.
** NOTE: Development potential
is an estimate of the probability of

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there would have to be a substantial 'ozone
hole' across southeastern Australia for Sydney to be getting extra
UV..as the sun is north of 23 deg S (I think) all year.In other words
the angle of its radiation doesn't take it (the radiation) onto Sydney
if the ozone hole is to Sydney's south.
I'm sure if there was one we would have heard about it by now...

Whether you are Australian, from the States or the UK...this is something
you'll see more and more and more, maybe you should be the first on your
block to have one......
an ASWA tshirt, polo or windcheater...........
The time has come to put in another order for tshirts, polos & windcheaters.
The link below will take you to a page that will give you some idea of what
to expect (excuse the blue tinge to this page - had something to do with the
redhead I used as a model - tshirts & polos are actually white & the
windcheaters are grey merle)
http://www.rubix.net.au/~cadence/fashion.htm
Anyone can order - the only pre-requisite is that your money and your order
must be to your ASWA state rep or me by 29th February.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact either your
state rep or me.
(meanwhile I'll go away and practice taking better pictures)
