Noticed that myself, Nomad. A bit warmer the past couple of days. Should cool down again for a couple weeks ending December. Usually does.The colder the better for my early morning start in the garden. The last couple of mornings have been a tad on the warm side. I see TMD is forecasting 19*C for tonight - that's better.
Yorky, I've noticed this the past couple/few years. 1st week or so December it really cools down, then for a few days or so warms back up, then the end of the month usually has an even cooler spell before warming up in January. I'll take whatever we get. Love the cool season relief from the heat for a few weeks. And I like the heat, but those couple months of high humidity can just f**k off. LOLStrange weather. 15°C overnight yet 33°C now.
Is winter over?
13.7 °C @ 04.00 (TMD)
Went outside at 5 a.m. this morning. More than a bit brisk and invigorating. LOL Went and put on my flannel lined slippers. Those floor tiles were cold. I am prepared for it each year. Brought stuff over each trip back from the states over the years to deal with 'the chill'. It's only a few weeks a year, but best to have some clothing to deal with it comfortably. Flip flops/sandals and shorts just do not do for these few short weeks.
I had to light the 'fire' in the living room this morning to give a little warmth for my family.

I bought one of these a few years ago. While only rated at 2 kw, it has just enough power to take the edge off the chill in the living room.
