What a clown He picks a single day when we had colder weather in Central Europe in like three months. It's warm again and forecast is horrible. Not that it matters. Half of the country has already turned to desert. Too late to help those dead trees so we may as well have sixth summer month.

Sounds character building.....might arrange something like it 🤔

This morning, late in the month and two days from Spring, Melbourne was six (6) degrees below its August minimum.
A friend is a keen skier; he wrote this in an email yesterday:
I skied at Thredbo last Thursday and the snow was unbelievable. Jenny said it had the “Japanese feel” to it – it was so deep (a la Japan). We skied down the lowest path to the village near a creek with tumbling waterfalls inn the gully, this the first time I have ever skied on this trail neither seeing or hearing the creek! There was stacks of snow on top. Also at the top of the Gunbarrel chairlift there is a dammed pond, it is always there. Not this time! It is GONE, vamoose, disappeared. Not only disappeared but the snow on top of it has been groomed! These groomers weigh tonnes, and they went of this pond and people are skiing right over it. In the 30 odd years I have skied at Thredbo I do not think I have seen snow this deep. But I met an old guy and he said this was nothing compared the '64 winter. They were digging snow out to keep the chairlifts operating.
I get emails from both Thredbo and Mt Buller and the photos look incredible, Mt Buller said it’s the best snow in years, if not decades. Of course I have not heard any mention of the snow on ABC, only bushfires and drought and woe it is all caused by CC), and most likely the fires started by arsonists as in the Berlin fires and I bet also the Swedish fires and most of the Californian fires. The Greek fires were highly suspected to be caused by arson.
In one of my letters to the paper, I mentioned the prediction of no snow in the Australian Alps by 2010 (then revised to 2020). Not published, of course.

I have trouble finding any web sites that give me an overview of European climate conditions at any point in time. Do you have any recommendations? Our media doesn't seem to cover such things unless something blows up big time. Hope your drought eases, but American media will only cover it if you literally dry up and blow away ... under the headline of "Trump desicates Central Europe". Found one article that looks at European drought from 1950 to 2012 with some nice charts. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214581815000026

Currently getting a good old-fashioned farmers rain (a good steady soaking) ... since very early morning ... now headed towards 2 inches. Haven't seen one for quite a while, and desperately needed. Of course now I have to mow the grass.

Hmm, I think the web site of the German Meteorological Office has what you are looking for -> www.dwd.de/EN/climate_environment/climatemonitoring/europe/europe_node.html If you scroll down a little, they have all sorts of maps. You can see nicely how the drought started in February and never let up. The Czech weather agency published summer overview today. Average temp was 22,7°C (2,7°C above 81-10 average) which makes it the warmest summer since 1775 when the measurements began. TOP 3: 2018, 2003, 2015
