After a wet (and occasionally foggy!) week, today is clear and crisp, although it is apparently going to warm up to about 22°C in a couple of hours. A bit of wind - I can see the garden waving gently at me through the window (although the weather app tells me it is about 20 km/h). Good gardening weather!

Beautiful sunny winter day today, forecast high of about 18*C, and it probably got to that -- we went for a relatively long bushwalk, and it was still and comfortable. Started off a bit too cool for my liking, but by half ten it was bright, sunny, and I was moving fast enough for the weather to count as warm! At one point, it was so still that I could hear buzzing of insects, and then the movement of leaves as the faintest gust of wind came through.

We've got a severe weather warning current at the moment, and over the last few hours the wind has picked up, there has been intermittent rain, and the temperature has dropped. Our morning walk was okay, just a couple drops of rain, but significant headwinds for one section.

According to our nearest weather station, wind gusts hit 91 km/h at 3:44pm AWST. Strongest winds reported at the BOM site are 117 km/h at Gooseberry hill at 3:33pm AWST. Several locations are already reporting power outages.

(for context: the severe weather warning is for an area roughly from Onslow to just east of Esperance, and west to the coast. This is a very large area, although I'm failing on working out exactly how large, or how much coast there is, but Perth - Onslow by road is about 1400 km and Perth to Esperance is >600, which means at a minimum 2000km of coast are included)

Mods: could I please have a location.au.perth tag.
