HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Sounds like it has been a bit different to normal over there for the green season....meanwhile our snowfields have been getting a rather good and early coverage fairly consistently (now that's out of the ordinary) - and Perth has been more stormy than normal. A cyclical weather pattern shift? The car is the one that gets me in the heat! If you can't park it undercover it is like an oven when you return. I have mastered the technique of opening all the doors with the remote (boot and twin sliders for the back seat are able to be operated remotely) as I approach, then leaning in and starting the car so the air con can start running on full blast to push out all the oven heat before I even get in. A warm house, not so bad. Hate the car! Link to post Share on other sites
Zer0star 0 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 sounds like you may need to invest in one of these! http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=15736151 there are quite popular in Hokkaido. Would work well for the heat too. Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The oh humidity is kicking in good and strong today and yesterday, was only 25 here today but humid as hell, which is unusual to be so humid in early July here, normally starts building up later part of July.

snowdude 44 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Dragonflies in Japan signafy that autumn will soon be here. They have been getting earlier as too have the cabbage butterflies which are also around. My dog hasnt multed as much as other years and was very late starting. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 The often told tale is mad hot summer = crazy snow winter. Not the case this time, snowdude? Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Not sure yet, but we are either going to have a mild, not very snowy winter or it is going to be brutal cold! Too early to know which way the weather is going to go at this stage, but unlikely to be an average winter! Link to post Share on other sites
