The Daily Dose. Saturday 28 April 2018. Sunday 29th April 2018.
The day dawned beautiful and clear, but by 8am they had a good set of trails laid down and cloud was beginning to form.
By 9am, with trailing continuing unabated (I never knew there was so much air traffic over Canberra, seems every where I looked there was a new trail being laid down) the cloud had thickened and was now very obvious, not that anyone but me noticed.
Trailing continued throughout the morning and by midday cloud banks were well formed.
Trailing continued throughout the afternoon
And into the evening...
Sunday morning the clouds really built...
And at 2pm the clouds burst, with a sludgy, ice cold rain that turned to hail. Accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Of course, the heavy dump on Saturday had nothing to with the weather on Sunday, nothing at all... just ask the experts.
Definition of an expert - Ex is a has been and a Spurt is a drip under pressure.
Wow ! These last pictures.. is that really a cloud I see? It looks more like smoke coming from that building ? And the last picture looks like the woods are burning?
Impressive collection!
Nope, no smoke, just clouds. That is the Sunset behind the trees in the last photo, and it is not in the woods, that is facing directly towards the main city centre.
And if it was smoke from the building it would be a National tragedy. That is the National Library and Archive building. If you look at the first photo with the boat, you can see it is well off to the right of the building and moves over it.
A little earlier in the afternoon.
A wider angle.
Just before that cloud moves into scene.
To get an idea of the weather on Sunday, watch this fishing video I made that afternoon. (Some nice fish were caught though.)
