Today was another topsy-turvy day in Melbourne, with the temperature climbing to 36˚C in the early afternoon. Severe thunderstorms bringing heavy rain and hail to parts of Victoria then started later on, improving air quality in Melbourne, after "hazardous" ratings across much of the state prompted concerns about the long-term health impacts of bushfire smoke.

The fourth image is a zoom towards the South Melbourne Town Hall and the Bay, much obscured by smoky haze. The last image was taken on a fine day a couple of years ago, showing the same view...

ReplyDeleteI miss the blue skies in Sydney too. I can totally feel your pain. We got some rain the past few days too, so it's easier to breathe now. Hopefully things get better.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Australia is getting some rain.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy there is, even just a little, much needed rain there. Your views are dramatic and a bit sad with the smoke everywhere.

So sad, especially when I hear that some of these devastating fires were set deliberately. Praying for relief and safety.
