Never again
Yes, you expect that here in Perth, not down south. I think they got to just under 39, not the forecast 40.
Perfect ice cream weather.
Just don't wear leather!

Excellent picture.Fog Bow

Fog bows are formed in the same way as rainbows in that light is reflected inside tiny water droplets and emerges to form a large circle or arc of approximately 42°C centred on the opposite the sun.
However, there are major differences. Rainbows are formed by raindrops which are so large that rays passing through them follow well defined 'geometrical optics' paths.
With the very finest droplets, such as those forming mist or fog, the light is no longer reflected and refracted within the drops, but is diffracted by them instead to produce a much broader and pale bow - the fogbow. In other words the fog and mist droplets are too small to refract light.
Light hitting the tiny droplets merges into white, rather than being separated into rainbow colours. Fogbow colours are whiteish because the fogbows formed in each colour overlap considerably.

I am one of those who fortunately doesn't suffer from either asthma or hayfever, however I feel for those who do. I received many calls last night from sufferers of the thunderstorm variety and when I walked through ED to start my shift, triage was standing room only. Orderly staff were staying back doing overtime and from what I gather it was full on.Thunderstorm asthma in Melbourne yesterday:

That's scary really, to think it could affect almost anyone.
I didn't notice anything remotely storm like in Richmond and Sth Yarra. Just a sharp burst of rain for a few minutes, then it seemed to be light all night. The overflow tank is outside our department window on the lower ground floor and cascades down onto the concrete which can make it sound worse than what it is.Weird, and never heard of it before.
I get hay fever, and have a compromised immune system as I have an auto immune disease.
I used to get pneumonia over and over, until I got a shot, still get infections and stuff and some kinds of pneumonia aren't covered.
Kind of amazed i didn't get this.
You would think doctors would warn you of the possibility of this thunder asthma.
Sounds like it hit the north of Melbourne and missed us in the south????
Can't say I noticed the storm much here. Lucky us.

Not for much longer it seems, it looks like we're in for a rough summer:
