    I want whatever drugs the BoM is on. Supposed to be 20C tonight? Going up to 23? In what universe…

      Dear The BoM,

      I hope this message finds you well, although I’m beginning to wonder if perhaps you’ve recently indulged in some rather… creative forecasting methods, shall we say? Crack cocaine, maybe? No judgement, but your prediction that it will be 23°C overnight has left me scratching my head. It’s currently 17.5°C, raining, and we have winds fast enough to launch my rubbish bins into another suburb. A balmy 23°C just seems, well, ambitious.

      Speaking of ambition, you promised us a delightful 27°C tomorrow, which I was frankly looking forward to. But now, out of nowhere, 23°C is all we get? What happened to our summer dreams? Was the 27°C forecast just a fleeting fantasy?

      I trust you’ll look into this sudden shift, and kindly consider laying off whatever inspired such optimistic figures. I’ll be sure to hold on tight to my umbrella and hopes in the meantime.

      Sincerely,
      Baku

        I got a good laugh out of this. I too am sad for the revision down from 27.

          Glad it gave you a chuckle, even if it is truly a sad state of spring :(

        Currently 14 here. With a forecast overnight low of 17 and back up to 23 at midnight. Something’s not adding up.

          I’ve been snorting nasonex in preparation for just this eventuality. I might hang out next to the air filter as well.

      When I went to bed it was 14 degrees, now 22.6

      I think you owe the BoM an apology…
