      Some good sunny periods, a bit windy, but not a cold wind as long as the sun keeps coming out.
      23c.

        We had a brief downpour. Now it's sunny intervals and quite pleasant.

            I remember the first time I saw this kind of thing in the early 80s at Scottsdale, outside seating at a particular place was like a fine mist but you didn't get wet.
            I certainly brings the temperature down.

                  Sunny intervals but more cloud than sun and no rain like they said.
                  Now it's 19c feels like 21c with a moderate breeze.

                    A lot of cloud this afternoon, but the wind has been really gusty making it feel cooler than it is.

                        I just watched the press conference from Maui about the terrible death toll and what they are trying to do. The toll at the moment is 89 and they think it will go quite a bit higher. The main problem was a combination of wildfires and a hurricane that drove them and has destroyed the town of Lahaina. It happened so fast that some people couldn't get out of the town as it started in the middle of the night. A number of people managed to escape into the sea but even then some of those didn't survive as the hurricane whipped up the water and also drove the flames out to sea. Even some of the boats were burnt!

                        My thoughts are with the families of the victims, those that have lost everything and all the Hawaiian people. :grphg:

                          Sun coming coming up, let's hope the wind doesn't get up again, like yesterday.

                                A lovely fresh breeze and 18c with hazy sun. Although we are under a Yellow Warning we should only go to the low 30s.
