Lightning over Newcastle, 20th November 2009

It was ridiculously hot yesterday in my part of Newcastle. At one stage the thermometer was showing 41.8 degrees C. That’s just insanely hot for this time of year, and this close to the coastline….and it was apparently only supposed to get to around 34 degrees.

The only good thing about temps like that is that we’ll normally get a big storm cell roll through afterward, and last night we got a cracker of a storm through. While it didn’t last long, it was certainly pretty intense.

Today is supposed to be 34 again, lets see if they get it right this time…..and tomorrow, well tomorrow they’re predicting 40 degrees for Newcastle. Man is it going to be a hot one!

More photos after the jump..

About

This is pretty well a straight cut n paste from my blog, I'm lazy and it's a reasonably good 'About Me'.

My name is Mathew Packer, my friends call me Mat or Packer. I live on the east coast of Australia in a beautiful city called Newcastle with my wife Cath, and our dog Cherry Bomb, and this is my blog.

I'm a husband, photographer, blogger, entrepreneur, freelance web designer, editor, 9-5 worker, golfer, sometimes-handy man, and generally a pretty nice guy.

My blog is a bit of a mashup of various topics. One day I might be writing about the latest software release from Apple, the next I might be telling you about how terribly I played golf on the weekend. I hope that you find my blog informative sometimes, or at least humorous occasionally. I write about the things I'm interested in and am passionate about.

If you like what I'm writing about feel free to subscribe directly to my RSS feed, or alternatively to the email alerts by entering in your email address over on the right ->
If you're interested in advertising on this blog, or on any of the others I run, then feel free to email me via the Contact page.

Have a great day or night where ever you are.
Cheers, Mat
