Cold southerly came through here at 5 to 5pm. Quick drop in temperature of 7C in 45 minutes.
Looked nice though. Shame this didn't happen at the meet the other WE :D
Anyway, I did an experiment though. I pulled a silly face just before the wind-change, maintaining it through the change from the NW to the south. My face returned it's normal look after the wind had changed, so that saying about if you pull a silly face during a wind-change, your face will stay like that, dosen't work o_O :D

Looking ominous just to the north of TC at the moment but I didn't think anything will come out of it apart from some rain.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.

It did look quite thundery for awhile with a convergence zone popping up, nothing thundery to note though and the trackers are quiet.
Just a light shower here at the moment and reports of hail not far inland near Mandeville.
