Yes. There are deciduous trees around my house and usually the wind does a nice job of ushering the fallen leaves towards one area, which makes them easier to clean up. This past couple of weeks leaves are everywhere and wind seems to be in strike.

Now that you mention it, yes. It’s still out in the burbs , once I’m closer to the bay in Carlton it’s a little bit blowier.

And I have noticed the weather seems to be drier than usual.
