'read the weather forecast before you step out.' this has been the most oft given advise to us. still, we have been caught out in the cold many a times. today is a perfect example. it started out really chilly in the morning but by 11am, it is glorious warm, sunshine. and when we were driving from mitcham to syndenham in the early afternoon; in the space of 3 traffic light stops at around the city centre; the temperature reading in the car dipped from 31 degrees at the first stop to 27 degrees celcius 3 traffic lights later.
at my cousin's place, there were 3 spurts of moderate rain lasting 2-4 minutes each within 60 minutes; cloudy one moment, sunny the next. the same thing happened when we were back in boxhill south. we had a couple of moderate rain lasting 2-3 minutes each, interspread with sunshine. as i write now (7.30pm melbourne time), it is clear sky outside. one cannot tell that it rained earlier if not for the slightly wet ground outside.
in the last 13 days we have been here, only snow eluded us. we won't rule that out for now.....(even with summer beckoning)
