Well I’m stuck in the small town of Uralla just south of Armidale tonight due to impassable roads.
But I could think of many worse places to be stranded 😍😍
It’s a spectacular winter wonderland in the northern NSW Tablelands today with significant #snow accumulations occurring.
Still can’t believe the @Socceroos are playing in my tiny #Townsville of all places.
Got into the 15min media training session today.

The #Socceroos advance to the knockout stage of the #FIFAWorldCup for the third time 👏💚💛
2006. 2022. 2026. 🇦🇺
Everyone doubted us.
Today I could not be prouder to call myself an Australian 🇦🇺.
What a result for us.

Historic heatwave 🌡️
Marree in South Australia has recorded a historic 49.8c today.
This is the 4th hottest temperature ever recorded in the state, and 3rd hottest in January. Just 0.9c below the all-time state/national record!
Ties as 10th hottest all-time nationally.
🌡️Scorching Australia Day today:
Ceduna recorded *49.5c* today! That ties as the 4th highest Jan temp/5th highest temp for any month on record in the state!
Just 1.2c below the national all-time record.
0.6c above site 2019 all-time record with 85yrs of data! @extremetemps
Heat will move east tomorrow with 49c forecast in Victoria at Mildura. If this verifies, an all-time state record will fall.
#Melbourne is forecast to reach 44c- if this verifies, this would be the hottest day since Black Saturday in 2009
Expect many records to fall...
It’s not the prettiest TC to exist, but Cyclone #Luana is starting to make its cat 1/2 landfall in the NW Kimberley region in a similar location as TC Hayley last month
Max gust so far is 89kmh/48kt at Koolan Island.
8th cyclone this season already! Peak season still weeks away
🌡️Shark Bay AP is the westernmost weather station on mainland Australia. Today it recorded *49.2c*!
Smashes the Jan record for site by 1.9c! 2nd hottest day for any month (0.6c below historic Feb 2024 record).
Hottest day nationally since 49.2c on Feb 3rd 2025 @extremetemps
Cyclone #Koji has just been named off NQ.
A slight move east means Townsville will see the weaker western half, while the towns & islands south of Ayr will see the strongest winds.
Willis Island recorded a 133kmh/72kt gust at 12:41pm! 80kmh at Hamilton Isl. Massive windfield.
