Troughed out and hot...

Heat trough is lying off the coast, kills the seabreeze.

It sucks, but we have had a pretty good run

If you haven't had enough great sessions over the last 3 weeks then you haven't pulled enough sick days! A few days off is good. Fri,sat sun it will be back. Pretty normal for a trough out as the summer kicks in.

Long winded article on how & why is here:

www.seabreeze.com.au/info/wind.asp

It's a classic weather pattern, high in the bight, trough down the west coast. Just gotta wait for the next high cell to come on through... which is due Fri/Sat, and the breezes start again....

When you view the 7 day forecast graph, click on the graph, and it will show you the synoptic....

Here we go again. Another one from Perth complaining because the wind is only blowing 5 out 7 days a week. Try coming over to Adelaide. Then you will seriously know what it is like to have no wind.
